Package: etckeeper Severity: minor Version: 0.46 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch maverick
When run using sudo with VCS=bzr, etckeeper will create root-owned $HOME/.bazaar and $HOME/.bzr.log (if they were not created before by bzr itself). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/376388 The proposed patch is to set and export HOME=~root if VCS=bzr. Hope this helps, -- Thierry Carrez
