[pkg-horde] Bug#695915: php-horde-role: package installation creates files in the users $HOME: ~/.pearrc

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: php-horde-role
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package creates files in the
users $HOME:

0m32.9s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /local/	 not owned
  /local/piuparts/	 not owned
  /local/piuparts/piupartss/	 not owned
  /local/piuparts/piupartss/.pearrc	 not owned

The home directory of the piupartss user which runs the tests is
/local/piuparts/piupartss, but the tests are run in a chroot and via
sudo, so I don't know how the wrong HOME survives ...
any way, this is really bad as it may happen in regular systems in some
cases creating root owned files in a user HOME (preventing the user to
edit these properly) and even worse may take user configuration into
account for the system setup.

This may not be a fault of php-horde-role but of something related to
PEAR or the way how pear is used ...


Cheers,

Andreas
