[DRE-maint] Bug#852808: diaspora-common: fails to upgrade from stretch: chown: cannot access '/var/lib/diaspora': No such file or directory

Package: diaspora-common
Version: 0.6.3.0+debian1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'stretch'.
It installed fine in 'stretch', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails.

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