Bug Description

In the German version of the man page for `adduser` (provided by the package `adduser` in version `3.113+nmu3ubuntu4`, though it's also present in version `3.113+nmu3ubuntu5`) we have

> Einen System-Benutzer einrichten
      Wird adduser ohne die Option --system und mit einem nicht optionalen Argument aufgerufen, richtet adduser einen System-Benutzer ein.

but in the English version it says

> Add a system user
      If called with one non-option argument and the --system option, adduser will add a system user.

So the error is the text "ohne die" (without) which should be replaced by "mit der" (with).

Thanks for your report!

This kind of translation is upstream (Debian) by nature. I think the best way to correct it is to open a Debian bug and attach a modified PO file to that bug report.

This is the PO file:
