Title: catastrophic bug with deluser command -- destroys large number of system files Status in adduser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I installed rygel and created a specific rygel user to run it with (as directed by the docs). I then realized a specific user was not needed. To reverse my steps, I ran deluser which proceeded to delete lots of files that have nothing to do with the rygel user: root@host:~# adduser --home /home/rygel --disabled-password --disabled-login --gecos 'Rygel media server' rygel root@host:~# sudo su - rygel rygel@host:$ systemctl start rygel rygel@host:$ exit root@host:~# deluser --remove-home --remove-all-files rygel Looking for files to backup/remove ... /usr/sbin/deluser: Cannot handle special file /etc/systemd/system/mdm.service /usr/sbin/deluser: Cannot handle special file /etc/systemd/system/samba-ad-dc.service /usr/sbin/deluser:
