[Adduser-devel] Bug#352496: deluser (3.82): unable to delete any user

[Andrew Lau]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.82
Severity: serious

Hi,

I can no longer remove any user from my system using deluser.

# grep test /etc/passwd
test:x:1003:1003::/home/test:/bin/bash

# deluser test
Undefined argument in option spec

Cheers,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
