2 things regarding this... Now that I've had a user with encrypted home, he's been removed, and then re-added. using:

$ userdel uname

and

$ adduser --encrypt-home uname

I now get (what is to me) an irremovable error:

ERROR: wrapped-passphrase file already exists, use --force to overwrite.
adduser: `/usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-private -b -u martin' returned error code 1. Exiting.

when the machine gets to the "setting up encryption" stage.

1. how do I get rid of the wrapped-passphrase file?
2. is this the right place for this (as presumably it's the same bug), or should I open a new bug report?
