[Adduser-devel] Bug#435777: adduser --system reports user existing as a system user even if not

[Vincent Bernat]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.104
Severity: minor

Hi !

adduser --system bernat reports:
 The user bernat' already exists as a system user. Exiting.

My user is not a system user:
 bernat:x:500:100:Vincent Bernat,,,:/home/bernat:/bin/zsh
And from adduser.conf:
 LAST_SYSTEM_UID=499 
 FIRST_UID=500

This is only a cosmetic bug.
