[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1600638@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center -
1:3.20.1-2ubuntu3

---------------
gnome-control-center (1:3.20.1-2ubuntu3) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Add 08_lowercase_user_names.patch:
    - Copy patch from unity-control-center to disallow upper-case
      letters in user names for compliance with adduser (LP: #1600638)
  * Depend on system-config-printer-gnome instead of -common.
    Ubuntu's s-c-p packaging differs and we need scp-dbus-service.py
    (LP: #1623150)

Bug description:
  1. Enter control panel
  2. "Add account"
  3. Use an invalid charcter, such as an upper case letter.
  4. Get a confusing error message:

  Failed to add account 
  running '/usr/sbin/adduser' failed: Child process exited with code 1'

  
  This is an easy fix, and could keep a user from getting really confused.
  For a confused user see
