Title:
mintupdate / apt requires access to my home directory
Status in Linux Mint:
Invalid
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
__Problem__
When running mintupdate I encounter the following error:
Unable to change to /home/jedwards/ - chdir (13: Permission denied)
My home directory is NFS mounted and secured with kerberos. The root
user has no access to my home directory and thus the chdir failes.
I encounter the same problem if I run:
cd /home/jedwards
sudo apt-get update
__Expected__
I don't think changing the behavoir of apt is something for the Linux
Mint team but mintupdate should not require access to my home
directory.
__Reproduction__
Run mintupdate as a user with an NFS mounted home directory to which
root has no access (either root squashing or kerberos).
__Proposed solution__
Modify /usr/bin/mintupdate to chdir to "/":
See my modified version attached.
