Reassigning to LXD, as it's reproducible with a simple
sudo lxc list.

** Summary changed:

- sosreport run via sudo creates root-owned files in the user's home directory
+ lxc list run via sudo creates root-owned files in the user's home directory

** Description changed:

- On a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 server installation, running sosreport creates
- root-owned files in ~/.config. Specifically, I'm using the following
- command:
+ LXD description:
+ 1.  Fresh 18.04 server
+ 2.  Run "sudo lxc list"
+ 3.  Note new root owned ~/.config directory. 
+ 
+ This does not occur on Eoan including with snap version of 3.0.4.

+ Previous description:
+ 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
