I don't know. It was just a guess. It's the only think that I could
think of if #{HOME} means to use the variable HOME and ENV is a link to
the environment. And yes, the nightly cron job that updates apt.
But it could also be that there is a hidden place in the code too where
you don't use the variable.
Sorry, that I do not know what exactly was leading to this. And as I
already deleted the .cache in / I cannot see anymore when it was
created. But I will have surely an eye on it.
Couldn't you crosscheck in the script if $HOME is proper set and issue a
log error in case it is not and stop further proceeding?
Regards
Klaus
