Can't add user named admin on latest 1.4 and 1.5

Bugs
1

Hi,

In latest 1.4 and 1.5 there is a /home/admin directory:

admin@vyos-test-1-5:~$ ls -l /home
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Oct  5 18:23 admin

So after adding a user named “admin”, he does’t have permissions to the home directory.

The same thing happens when updating a system where the “admin” user exists. It loses permissions to the home directory.

It looks like garbage from the building process:

admin@vyos-test-1-5:~$ ls -l /home/admin/workspace/vyos-build-pmacct_current
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 31 Oct  5 03:47 build-amd64

Description: promiscuous mode traffic accountant
 pmacct is a tool designed to gather traffic information (bytes and number
 of packets) by listening on a promiscuous interface or for Netflow data,
 which may facilitate billing, bandwidth management, traffic analysis, or
 creating usage graphs.
 .
 Data can be stored in memory and queried, displayed directly, or written
 to a database; storage methods are quite flexible and may aggregate totals
 or keep them separate.

It’s odd. The path contains vyos-build-pmacct_current but the repo is 1.7.0. Not sure what exactly is building that package from where, but whatever is building it is broken.

For the record. Here is the reason: ⚓ T5663 pmacct package contains unwanted data
