Bug#259757: kdelibs4: file ownership problem
Package: kdelibs4
Version: 4:3.2.3-2
Followup-For: Bug #259757
I've had this problem before. It occurs when I run `sudo apt-get
dist-upgrade' as a regular user while in X. I have apt-listbugs installed, so
I get the chance to examine bug reports before installing (through querybts, I
believe). If I choose to open a browser to see a full bug report, konqueror
is launched. Afterwards, /var/tmp/kdecache-cypher/ksycoca and
~cypher/.ICEauthority are owned by root, and KDE apps behave strangely until I
chown them.
I probably should have filed a report against sudo, but this bug can be
reassigned if the original reporter believes this is the source of his
problems. It seems to me that sudo needs to export $USER or $HOME or $LOGNAME
in order to make this work properly.
