Bug#339670: Unable to parse /etc/adduser.conf with 3.78 on Sid
Package: adduser Version: 3.78 Followup-For: Bug #339670 I get the same errors as well with adduser and deluser. --start-- # deluser testing /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/adduser.conf'':29. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/adduser.conf'':30. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/adduser.conf'':34. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/adduser.conf'':35. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/adduser.conf'':45. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/adduser.conf'':53. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/adduser.conf'':60. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/deluser.conf'':4. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/deluser.conf'':7. /usr/sbin/deluser: Couldn''t parse `/etc/deluser.conf'':14. Removing user `testing''... done. --end-- I also noticed duplicate entries in /etc/adduser.conf as well, and I did not alter that file either. /usr/share/adduser/adduser.conf also includes those duplicated lines. --start-- # FIRST_SYSTEM_[GU]ID to LAST_SYSTEM_[GU]ID inclusive is the range for # UIDs # for dynamically allocated administrative and system accounts/groups. FIRST_SYSTEM_UID=100 LAST_SYSTEM_UID=999 FIRST_SYSTEM_GID=100 LAST_SYSTEM_GID=999 # FIRST_[GU]ID to LAST_[GU]ID inclusive is the range of UIDs of # dynamically # allocated user accounts/groups. FIRST_UID=1000 LAST_UID=29999 FIRST_GID=1000 LAST_GID=29999 --end-- Removing the duplicate entries does not fix the problem. Downgrading to 3.77 does resolve it here. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (650, ''unstable''), (640, ''experimental''), (500, ''testing''), (500, ''stable'') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-ck5-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages adduser depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.59 Debian configuration management sy ii passwd 1:4.0.13-6 change and administer password and ii perl-base 5.8.7-8 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbis adduser recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * adduser/homedir-permission: false
