Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

AMD64 Hardy Beta
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
gnome-system-tools:
  Installed: 2.22.0-0ubuntu3

Used 'System -> Administration -> Users and groups' to try add a new user and a new group. The tool crashed on first use. It did not crash on later uses, but silently failed to add users or groups.

First use sequence:
start users-admin
manage-groups
close #manage groups
unlock, and authenticate
manage-groups
# added new group
add user # crashed

Second use sequence:
start users-admin
unlock, and authenticate
add user, and added user with all required info, but did not find previous group
closed users-admin
sudo -s # and went to /etc to check passwd, group etc, but found no trace of new user or group
