Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 0.31.0-2
Severity: critical

users-admin from gnome-system-tools erases data from those files when a
ISO-8859 Real Name with accented vowels is added.

Actually, it removes almost all users and DON'T add the new one. I
attach a diff of the files I see changed. 

Of course, the system becomes UNUSABLE.
