[Adduser-devel] Bug#481352: adduser: --backup backs up to file called "--bzip2"

[Otto Visser]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.107
Severity: normal


deluser --backup backs up the home directory of the to be deleted user to a file 
called --bzip2. The order of the arguments in deluser is incorrect, changing line 
325 by placing $backup_name directly after the "-cf" fixes the problem.
