retitle 591592 xkbseldb fails (in postinst) if $HOME is not set. thanks Le Fri, Aug 06, 2010 at 09:41:44PM -0400, Lucas Nussbaum a écrit : > > beothuk:/root# unset HOME > beothuk:/root# xkbseldb -R > HOME variable not set > Segmentation fault
Thanks Lucas. I am not sure what xkbseldb does with $HOME when invoked by root… Possible ways to solve that bug are : - Run xkbseldb -R only if $HOME is set, and document this in a README file. - Set $HOME to /root in the postinst script: it is not a problem if it is not available. - Patch xkbseldb itself (not by me, I am not a C programmer). - Remove the package if it does not work with Squeeze's Xorg (see #564805).
