[Pkg-ltsp-devel] Bug#451878: /usr/sbin/ltsp-build-client: Doesn't properly clean up environment

[Roberto C. Sanchez]

Package: ltsp-server
Version: 0.99debian11
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/ltsp-build-client

I use pam_tmpdir on my system.  So, for example, root has this in his
environment:

TMP=/tmp/user/0
TMPDIR=/tmp/user/0

One or both of those values are sticking around when ltsp-build-client
is called, resulting in this failure:

Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
mktemp: cannot make temp dir /tmp/user/0/mkinitramfs_W13305: No such file or directory
mkinitramfs-kpkg failed to create initrd image.

It looks like the call to mktemp is making use of one of the variables.
Of course, since the chroot for the client created in /opt/ltsp is
clean, there is no user/0 directory below /tmp.

Regards,
