for sure i used an extra user-name to set up unencrypted home.

did trinity (deleting user, group and home directory) afterwards i still
get the same error.

as far as i recognized the command "adduser --encrypt-home $user"
creates an ".ecryptfs..."-folder in the home folder and afterwards
chokes on that.

Bug description:
after installataion of jaunty failed with alpha3 + encrypted home, i installed it with normal home.
after that (and update to current state) i wanted to set up a new user with "adduser --encrypt-home $user" buit i got following error report:
"ERROR: /home/$user must be empty before proceeding
adduser: "/usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-private -b -u $user" gave back  error-code 1"

although trying the procedure reported in bug 309541 is not helping.

i'm willing to help make it work ;)
