Package: libgstreamer0.8-0
Version: 0.8.8-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

When installing libgstreamer0.8-0, the postinst script calls
gst-register-0.8, which creates the directory /root/.gstreamer-0.8:

| Rebuilding global_registry (/var/lib/gstreamer/0.8/registry.xml) ...
| Added plugin gstvideo with 0 features.
| [...]
| Rebuilding user_registry (/root/.gstreamer-0.8/registry.xml) ...
| Loaded 19 plugins with 27 features.

I think no package should ever create files in any user's home
directory, especially not in root's.


Regards,
Holger

 .
   * Loic Minier:
     * Install alternatives for the gst-* binaries with a priority
       corresponding to the GStreamer ABI. (Closes:  #265223) [debian/rules,
       debian/gstreamer-tools.prerm, debian/gstreamer-tools.postinst]
     * Call gst-register and gst-compprep with GST_REGISTRY in their
       environment to override the default behavior of writing to
       /root/.gstreamer-0.8, waiting for an upstream fix. (Closes: #301190)
       [debian/libgstreamer.postinst, debian/TODO.Debian]
     * Remove /var/lib/gstreamer if empty.
       [debian/libgstreamer.postrm]
     * Remove left over /root/.gstreamer-0.8 tree if it hasn't been modified.
       [debian/libgstreamer.preinst, debian/rules]
     * Add a versioned dependency with >= current-upstream-version to all
       current shlibs inter-dependencies to ensure consistency of symbols to
       avoid things such as #315556.
       [debian/control, debian/control.in, debian/rules]
     * Set Maintainer to group. [debian/control, debian/control.in]
     * Bump Standards-Version to 3.6.2, no change needed.
       [debian/control, debian/control.in]
     * Add a TODO list for the Debian package. [debian/TODO.Debian]
