Description Mikael Nordfeldth 2009-10-29 18:44:48 UTC 
A user is not removed when choosing to do this through the 'users-admin' tool.

The GIDs are the GIDs my users had.

Steps to reproduce:
0. Login as administrative user (GID:1000)
1. Create a new user as Administrator (GID:1001).
2. Reboot.
3. Login as the new administrator.
4. Startup users-admin.
5. Remove the original user (GID:1000).
6. Close 'users-admin' and start it up again. Notice that the original user (GID:1000) is still there.

This is actually a bug in Debian's deluser command, which is not setting the PATH when running external commands. Thus, the system-tools-backends run via D-Bus were not giving it a valid PATH either, leading to failure. Obviously, error reporting from the backends should be improved, but... See downstream report for details and a patch.
