[Bug 497385] [NEW] Getting an unexpected warning and a syntax error when installing

[ctcarton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ebox

When installing ebox via apt-get from the command line I got this
displayed in the output:

Adding new user `ebox' (UID 114) with group `ebox' ...
The home directory `/var/lib/ebox/' already exists. Not copying from `/etc/skel'.
adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/ebox/' does not belong to the user that you are currently creating.
Adding user `ebox' to group `adm' ...
Adding user ebox to group adm
Done.
sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected


The warning is a little worrying and the syntax error is obviously a bug.  The package did install though and everything seems to work.
