For ls it's true, because ~ is expanded by bash. Python works in a bit
different way:
$ sudo python
>>> import os
>>> os.getenv("HOME")
'/root'
>>> import os.path
>>> os.path.expanduser("~")
'/root'
Yes, there are few environment variables preserved (like USERNAME), but
sudo changes your working environment (you can easily check: compare
`env` output with `sudo env` output).
So, for zeitgeist-daemon running as root it's home directory is /root
and we should decide what to do in this kind of a situation. Should I
report this directly to Zeitgeist and see if daemon guys can figure
something out?

Title:
Add support for yum
Status in Zeitgeist Data-Providers:
New
Bug description:
I'm not sure if adding this to Zeitgeist makes sense, but sometimes I would
like to see what package (and when) I've installed without opening PackageKit
and browsing logs.
If Zeitgeist Data-Providers team also would like this in Zeitgeist, I'm
willing to write a plugin.
