hi,
if the 'freevo' user does not exist in a system, then the postinst
will create it using
adduser --ingroup freevo --quiet --home /home/freevo \
--disabled-login --system freevo
and in this case the home directory will be /home/freevo and it will
be writable by the user freevo
In your case, it seems that the 'freevo' user exists, and /home/freevo
exists, and /home/freevo is not writeble by 'freevo'... but this IMHO
is not due to this package.
