This has been fixed in 4.2-7mk, I was not wondering a person would issue
directly its home directory but effectively, I agree it is dangerous. An update
will be issued with the fix consisting of avoiding removing files.

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.
