Bug#673793: mpd-sima: installation creates $HOME and directories in $HOME

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: mpd-sima
Version: 0.9.2-1
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned
directories on the system after purge, which is a violation of
policy 6.8:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release
goal since lenny.

If the package would ship this as an empty directory, dpkg would take
care of the creation and removal.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m34.9s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /local/	 not owned
  /local/piuparts/	 not owned
  /local/piuparts/piupartss/	 not owned
  /local/piuparts/piupartss/.config/	 not owned
  /local/piuparts/piupartss/.config/mpd_sima/	 not owned

HOME is set to /local/piuparts/piupartss, but the installation is done
via 'sudo chroot ...' as root, so the $HOME does not exist.
Anyway, pure package installation should not create anything in any
$HOME.

cheers,

Andreas
