[Adduser-devel] Bug#345639: adduser: [INTL:de] prompt does not match expected response

[Claudio Nieder]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.80
Severity: normal

In the german translation, the prompt appearing after the users
information was added asking "If the information are correct [y/N]" is
translated to the german letters [j/N] for german Ja=Yes and Nein=No.
Yet the letter "j" or "J" is not accepted as answer. One must enter a
"y", otherwise it is assumed the user is saying that the information is
not correct and should be re-entered:

Geben Sie einen neuen Wert an oder ENTER für den Standardwert
        Name []: Jetty Install
        Raum []:
        Telefon geschäftlich []:
        Telefon privat []:
        Sonstiges []:
Sind die Informationen korrekt? [j/N] j
Ändere Benutzerinformationen für i-jetty
Geben Sie einen neuen Wert an oder ENTER für den Standardwert
        Name [Jetty Install]:

        Telefon geschäftlich []:
        Telefon privat []:
        Sonstiges []:
Sind die Informationen korrekt? [j/N] J
Ändere Benutzerinformationen für i-jetty
Geben Sie einen neuen Wert an oder ENTER für den Standardwert

        Sonstiges []:
