Bug#674013: Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-<user>" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

[Dr Beco]

Package: update-manager-core
Version: 0.200.5-1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i upstream

When one simply run the update-manager, if one take a close look during the
process, clicking to watch the "terminal" window, he will notice this message:

Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-<user>" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

It looks like there is no problem after the update, though. Maybe it should not
report as "error", but "warning".

Also, googling for the error gives a lot of hits in other distros (and
programs). Some report kdesu/sudo problems. I do not have (at least that I know
of) problems with other programs, just this one. My distro is plain, only
updated via synaptic, no strange software installed.

Thanks!
Beco.
