Bug#394737: vdradmin-am: doesn't work after upgrade (/tmp permission problem)

[Anssi Kolehmainen]

Package: vdradmin-am
Version: 3.4.7-1
Severity: normal

I upgraded vdradmin-am from 3.4.6-2 to 3.4.7-1. After upgrade
vdradmin-am started fine, but the web interface gave error about not
being able to create directory
(/tmp//usr/share/vdradmin-am/template/default). After some digging I
found out that previously the tmp dir was owned by root (because
vdradmin was run as root) and now vdradmin-am user couldn't write to
that dir.

After I deleted /tmp/usr/ (which contained only vdradmin files)
everything worked just fine.  Postinstall script should check if such
directory exists and maybe delete it (or reset permissions) but I don't
know if it's good idea for scripts to mess around with other files.
