Package: adduser Version: 3.87 "adduser" produces a lot of error messages about unrecognized parameters, which may or may not be harmless. This may indicate a conflict with some version of another package, but it's not clear to me which one.
related packages: passwd : v1:4.0.15-10 debconf : v1.5.1 The first example below shows "adduser" being invoked directly from the command line. The other two examples show the same problem occurring when "apt-get" tries to create system userids while installing other packages. -- Ian Bruce ------- # adduser gdubya Adding user `gdubya'...
