My initial tests indicate that for this regex to work as expected,
- libperl5.40 must be installed in the target system but is not part
of the base system so may not be installed depending on task
selection.
- LANG must be set to an installed UTF-8 locale but user-setup-apply
overrides the default LANG=C.UTF8 with "export LANG=C # avoid locale
errors from perl".
Okay, so that is not an acceptable fix that can go quickly into trixie.
I'd need a suggestion for a simpler regexp that will work without
libperl, that would be a short-term solution for trixie to fix the
immediate pain.
Post-trixie, I'd like to have adduser use two regexps conditionally
depending on whether libperl is installed.
PS: During my tests I found out that deluser fails with an error about
File:Find if perl-modules is not installed (not part of the base
system either).
That should not happen. Can you give a reproducer?
