Oops, I was mistakenly reading an old Fedora manpage. On wheezy, 'man 8 adduser' says: "If a user with the same name already exists in the system uid range [...] adduser will exit with a warning. This warning can be suppressed by adding --quiet". It is unclear to me if --quiet just suppresses the warning, or also the exit. So, I still fear that is likely to upset the package install scripts. As I keep saying, I need to test this tomorrow. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
