           Product: urpmi
         Component: program
           Summary: urpmi -u --auto --bug /home/user destructively rewrites
                    all data in /home/user
           Version: 4.0-20mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I encountered a severe data loss problem when running urpmi with the following
options:

urpmi -u --auto --bug /home/user

The --bug option did a destructive overwrite of the directory /home/user,
destroying all data and subdirectories, and changing the file permissions of the
directory to root:root. The --bug option in this version of urpmi does this to
any directory specified in the argument.
