Package: sensible-utils Version: 0.0.14 Severity: normal Hi!
The select-editor program misbehaves when the environment does not contain the HOME variable set. For normal users this means the code will be unable to write to «/.selected_editor», for root that means the code will pollute the «/» directory. Please check whether HOME is set, and otherwise initialize it with a sensible value, f.ex. from «getent passwd $user|cut -d: -f6» or similar. An easy way to test this is with «env -i sensible-editor». Thanks, Guillem
