Subject: Bug#3861: when adduser runs finger it display all users mathcing the pattern

From: [email-masked]

Package: adduser
Version: 1.99-1

When /usr/bin/adduser fingers a new user and prompts "Is this
information correct [y/n]? ", it matches any username including the
one just added (this is confusing).  The patch is simply to use
"finger -m" instead:
-            if ((system "/usr/bin/finger $new_name") != 0) {
+            if ((system "/usr/bin/finger -m $new_name") != 0) {
