Bug#442619: adduser: useradd don''t accept "s" as "yes" when in portuguese
Package: adduser
Version: 3.102
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
When operating in systems with Brazilian Portuguese language set, after a
netinst install, the adduser
command don''t accept "s" option ("s" of
"sim" = "yes"). The result of the "locale yesexpr"
command
is "^[SsyY].*". The "y" option works fine. After some time
(or apt-gets?), the problem don''t occur
more. I don''t know perl and don''t know how to fix the problem.
Sorry.
Best regards,
Eriberto - Brazil

During install, it is likely you may not yet have perl-modules installed. I''m not really sure that this is a bug, and I don''t think there''s a lot we can do to fix it in any case - we can''t really enlarge the base install cd for one question.
