I just looked at that script. I agree that as written now that it is expected behavior by that script. But I think the script is not written well. It should create the user first. It is using adduser to create the user. It should let it create the home directory. Then the spurious message that is printed out during the installation would be avoided. That would be much nicer. I don't have the time but I think it would be a good bug to fail against the package. Because the message is truly a spurious one that need not be there if the package were perfect. Bob
