Please re-run with a locale that a west european user can read, and
give the output of find /etc/skel -ls

Please also consider using the reportbug script for future bug reports.

The bug reporter delivered the requested information in private, and a
bug in adduser was found. When /etc/skel is unreadable to the world,
the readlink() call which was being done with privileges dropped failed.

The issue is hopefully solved, as readlink code and error handling
have been moved out of the block that runs with dropped privileges.

The fix is committed to svn.

Greetings
Marc
