[Adduser-devel] Bug#442619: adduser: useradd don't accept "s" as "yes" when in portuguese

[Joao Eriberto Mota Filho]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.102
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

When operating in systems with Brazilian Portuguese language set, after a netinst install, the adduser 
command don't accept "s" option ("s" of "sim" = "yes"). The result of the "locale yesexpr" command 
is "^[SsyY].*". The "y" option works fine. After some time (or apt-gets?), the problem don't occur 
more. I don't know perl and don't know how to fix the problem. Sorry.

Best regards,

Eriberto - Brazil
