E.g. cron is well known to not set $HOME by default: I'd agree that the root cause for creating non-FHS /.rpmdb is due to $HOME not being set (and RPM patched to use $HOME in essential/mandatory configuration like %_dbpath).
These issues are in a Debian patch to RPM and needs to be addressed within Debian/uBuntu. If you wish rpm-4.9.1 "upstream" patched, then you need to use trac at http://rpm.org. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069350 Title: suspicious /.rpmdb root directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rpm/+bug/1069350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
