Adduser devel - Sep 2007 - Bug#442619: Bug#442619: adduser: adduser don''t accept "s" as "yes" when in portuguese

Thanks for your response.

I installed perl-modules and the adduser command worked fine. I think
it is a bug. If an user receives a Portuguese question, his needs to
answer in Portguese. Please, consider to include perl-module as
dependence. I know it will enlarge the netinst image size. But, IMHO,
it is a coherent action.

Cheers,

I understand completely wanting input and output localized to the same
language (I can imagine the confusion otherwise, believe me) but the
install cd is really out of my hands - I have nothing to do with it.  If
you want to ask about this on the IRC channel #debian-boot or the
mailing list debian-boot at lists.debian.org and let me know what the
authoritative people over there say about including perl-modules in a
default install image in order to properly localize this question, that
would be great.

Thanks,
