Bug Description
Binary package hint: migration-assistant
This is the actual real-world use case:
While trying to pitch Linux (Mint) to older users (50/60s) as a replacement for an aging WinXP installation migration-assistant fails to copy and create the selected accounts from the Windows XP install.
The Windows XP accounts are named: admin, dad, mom, sis ; each family member having their own account and settings.
The resulting linux accounts should be similar, but renaming account names is tolerable.
Using the Ubuntu-
Expected result: For each checked account a new user would be created and the settings imported to make the logins match.
Actual result: All files and settings copied in to the single setup account.
