Package: dak Version: 1.0-8.5 Followup-For: Bug #407761
The postinstall script probably doesn't set a proper default value for dak/path when ENTER is hit and continues as if dak/path=/ as it can be seen bellow: Setting up dak (1.0-8.5) ... debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog debconf: (TERM is not set, so the dialog frontend is not usable.) debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline Domain: piti.homelinux.net Creating/updating dak user account and group...

Another problem is that it has created files under / and probably there is no way of finding & removing them.
