[ubuntu] apt-get upgrade daemon = fail

[zosky]

me love transmission-daemon long time

would like it running as me on ubuntu rather then its own user
this works, expect for every upgrade

i've changed 2 lines in /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
USER=zosky
OPTIONS="--config-dir /home/zosky/.transmission/"

every time i upgrade it does $(chown -R transmission-deamon ~/.transmission)
then zosky can not launch daemon anymore

i end up having to fudge the rest of the install
how can i fix this for smooth apt-get upgrading ?

Code: Select all

#... here's what im doing each rel (ATM)
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
# ... "failed to install transmission-daemon"
$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
# ... insert 'exit 0' at the top & save
$ sudo dpkg --configure --pending
# ... remove 'exit 0'
$ sudo chown -R [user]:[group] [~/path-to-config]
$ service transmission-daemon start

Talk to the package maintainer at Ubunty since there isn't anything we can do besides what you are already doing.

Or you could set up ACLs where both of you and the transmission-user have "full access".
