[Bug 879453] [NEW] users-admin tool enforces policy it has no authority over

 

Public bug reported:

While some people frown upon capital letters in group names there is
nothing in Debian policy that disallows them.  Yet, users-admin will
refuse to operate on such groups and even throw out incorrect
information as in "Please set a valid group name consisting of a lower
case letter followed by lower case letters and numbers."

Reference: bug 245791
