Package: albatross
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Hi,
This package fails to build from source when your uid isn't
root. It fails since starting the session server tries to write a file
underneath /var/log. Additionally, python-albatross-common misses a
dependancy on adduser, and python2.{3,4}-albtross both include
${shlibs:Depends} and ${misc:Depends} which are entirely
unneeded. Attached is a patch that corrects the issue.
