[Bug 899082] Re: Lubuntu installer crashed near the end of the installation

[Colin Watson]

Normally adduser would handle this fine.  Is it possible that
/home/coerdtr is a symbolic link, e.g. to an encrypted filesystem
somewhere?  That would be an edge case here, I think.

  Sorry to call this a new bug as there were several similar older bugs
  offered to choose from, yet I don't know if they're identical. I'm not
  sure where in the process the crash occurred and if the rudimentary
  installation is usable at all.
