Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk napsal(a):

 I've pushed the changes in my NMU to the git repository, so assume that
 there is no need to send a diff here.

Thanks for fixing this issue, I was just too busy to give it deeper
look.

 You might also be interested in #741399 I just reported, based on
 findings from Ubuntu bug #1069350, requesting dkms to avoid calling rpm
 which should prevent creation of these directories. This interaction
 between dkms and rpm appears to be the primary cause. Do you have dkms
 built kernel modules on your system?

I use dkms nowhere as I dislike its way to build a kernel package on
every server. I like to prebuild a package and have only minimal
packages installed on all other systems.

So my issue is not triggered by dkms.

Bug#741324: rpm regulary creates directory /~

Package: rpm
Version: 4.11.2-2
Severity: serious

rpm did create /.rpmdb before and now it does much more annoyingly
create /~/.rpmdb.

For the fact that rpm is an absolute useless package on debian systems
and only exists for the dependencies of alien that is a dependency of
lsb-core, this bug is really annoying and shold be solved.

Confirmed here as well with the default configuration when rpm runs as
root with HOME undefined. This is due to the change in 4.11.2-1 that
attempted to fix the problem with /.rpmdb, but apparently ~ as a
fallback is not doing what it was meant to do.

You might also be interested in #741399 I just reported, based on
