Package: debconf Version: 1.5.21 Severity: wishlist
Hi, I suggest that dpkg and dpkg-reconfigure unset $HOME or set it to ~root before invoking /var/lib/dpkg/info/*. When invoked through sudo, $HOME is the non-root user's home directory, which system-wide configuration shouldn't have anything to do with. (I experienced symptoms while installing/upgrading aspell, whose postinst config accidentally uses $HOME/.aspell.conf.) Then again perhaps the onus should be on maintainers to write their scripts to ignore $HOME in case someone invokes them directly... In that case something like HOME=/var/nonexistent might help detect problems earlier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
