Package: inn2
Version: 2.4.5-5
Severity: normal
Hi,
innshellvars, innshellvars.pl and innshellvars.tcl all set $HOME to the
value of pathnews specified in inn.conf, over-riding the home directory
of the news user.
That breaks things. Most notably, it means that gpg will try and create
files in pathnews/.gnupg so if pathnews is not the same as ~news things
like buildinnkeyring and gpgverify won't work.
I think innshellvars* shouldn't over-ride $HOME. Also, It would be nice
if there was a file in /etc you could use to tune what these programs do
(e.g. to set other environment variables such as GNUPGHOME).
Regards,
Matthew

If ~news != $PATHNEWS then you broke your system. You are not supposed
to change the news user home directory, it is not supported.
