Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: adduser
As a test, I ran `sudo adduser 日本語`, which successfully created a user
and group, but no home directory was created. I was able to set a
password for this user, and log in via ssh, resulting in an error that
the home directory could not be found (although it was properly recorded
in /etc/passwd). `sudo deluser 日本語` worked as expected.
This may (or may not) be related to $configref->{"name_regex"} =
"^[a-z][-a-z0-9]*\$"; in AdduserCommon.pm (although I'm not sure why so
much works if it is related).
Test was performed with adduser 3.108ubuntu1 on intrepid.
** Affects: adduser (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
