[Adduser-devel] Bug#545024: adduser: deluser does not delete pipes or sockets

[Christian Sievers]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.110
Severity: important

This is related to bug #430640, but I couldn't mail to
430640 at bugs.debian.org.
There it was reported and finally fixed for the case one
does a backup, but just trying
  deluser --remove-home <user>
still won't delete pipes or sockets, and therefore also
the whole home directory will not be deleted.
