valid mga4b2 today, fresh install mga4b2+updates, drakxtools 16.16

As root made /home/maria
in userdrake defined new user maria, checkmark create home folder, OK: immediate ctrash, output in terminal where i started it:

Fel vid skapande av `/home/maria': Error creating `/home/maria': Filen existerar at /usr/libexec/drakuser line 500.
libuser fatal error: lu_mail_spool_create() called with non-NULL *error
Avbruten (SIGABRT)


In english: error creating at line 500: file exists

Actually, it's a libuser bug that performs an emergency exit :-(
And since redhat no more maintains it b/c a new lib should go out...
