Package: wajig
Version: 2.0.19-1
Severity: normal

For the last few days, certain wajig commands fail when run from root's
cron:

+ wajig update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/wajig/wajig.py", line 31, in ?
    import documentation,commands,changes,perform
  File "/usr/share/wajig/commands.py", line 43, in ?
    import changes
  File "/usr/share/wajig/changes.py", line 47, in ?
    import perform
  File "/usr/share/wajig/perform.py", line 34, in ?
    if os.path.exists("/usr/bin/sudo") and os.environ['USER'] <> 'root':
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/UserDict.py", line 19, in __getitem__
    def __getitem__(self, key): return self.data[key]
KeyError: 'USER'
+ wajig describe-new

and others (new-upgrades, toupgrade, auto-download).

There's no USER set in the cron environment, I think you should use
LOGNAME instead.

cheers,
