Description Kamil Páral 2010-06-09 11:14:51 UTC
Description of problem:
When removing user:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/system-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 710, in on_delete_activate
    self.rmrf(mailSpool)
  File "/usr/share/system-config-users/mainWindow.py", line 890, in rmrf
    raise
TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances, not NoneType

This happens after clicking Yes on dialog "Do you really want to remove user...?". Removing home dir is checked. The dialog stays open and must be closed by X button. Home dir is removed, but the user stays in the system. Removing the user for the second time finally completes the task.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-users-1.2.98-1.fc13.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to remove user with his home dir.
2. Observe the traceback.
3. User stays, home dir does not.
