Public bug reported:
On a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 server installation, running sosreport creates
root-owned files in ~/.config. Specifically, I'm using the following
command:
sudo sosreport --batch --tmp-dir /tmp/
Prior to running this command, ~/.config did not exist. After running
the command, ~/.config exists and is owned by root, with a lxd
subdirectory:
$ sudo ls -lR .config
.config:
total 4
drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Sep 19 12:16 lxc
.config/lxc:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188 Sep 19 12:16 config.yml
-rw------- 1 root root 5 Sep 19 12:16 cookies
This root ownership of ~/.config and ~/.config/lxd causes problems for
subsequent programs run without sudo.
$ apt-cache policy sosreport
