Adduser devel - Aug 2007 - Bug#439762: adduser: uninitialized value on line 188

Package: adduser
Version: 3.104

When installing puppet (which does this):
       /usr/sbin/adduser --system \
                   --group \
	           --home /var/lib/puppet \
	           --gecos "Puppet configuration manangement daemon" \
            puppet > /dev/null

I saw:
Use of uninitialized value in printf at /usr/sbin/adduser line 188.

If I changed the statement a printf to this:
  print gtx("Warning: The home dir $special_home you specified already
  exists.\n")       if (!defined($no_create_home) && -d
$special_home);

Then it worked - however I''m not aware of the correct usage of gettext.

"locale" reports:
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
