Proposed patch:
if ($bug) {
system("rm", "-rf", $bug);
mkdir $bug or $urpm->{fatal}(8, _("Unable to create directory [%s] for bug
report",
$bug));
Remove the rm -rf line. How could that possibly ever be warranted? =) Then change
the docs to say that --bug needs to take the pathname to a non-existant directory, and
will fail if it already exists.
Please take a look at this ASAP.

description:
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.
