Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
In trying to simple copy a config across account I got to a point of
deleting a new user.
Returning to recreate the user a fresh, having deleted the /home/user
folder the "Users and Groups" suggest the username exists although it's
not in the user list. Not obviously, it is the group by that name that
is preventing the user being created. Deleting the group name = user
name, the user can then be created without issue.
Creating any user with existing group name does the same it seems.
Maybe change the prompt to suggest group of that name exists already
rather than suggesting user name exists?
Possibly also improve deletion of users by querying if group name
removal is being expected too?
