Package: secvpn
Version: 2.19
Severity: normal

Hi,

installing secvpn on a system that doesn't have user home directories
directly under /home (see FHS), the package breaks in preinst. Since it
doesn't seem necessary to have a /home/secvpn homedir for this package,
adding "--home /tmp" for the adduser call would be sufficient in preinst
to fix this problem. Many packages even create /var/lib/<package>
directories for this purpose.

Thanks for considering.

bye,
  Roland
