Title:
  UID changes for clickpkg user breaks app updates/installs

Status in “click” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The UID for the 'clickpkg' user is not hardcoded, so may change from
  one build to the next. As a result the /opt/click.ubuntu.com path may
  become unwritable for the clickpkg user.

  Steps to reproduce.

  Install Ubuntu Touch image 32 on mako
  Create a single sign-on account
  Install an application
  Update phone to #55
  Install another application
  Observe the install fails

  /opt/click.ubuntu.com is no longer owned by clickpkg user

  
  --------

  Just updated to #55 on mako and tried to install an app. The
  download/install failed (log file fragment attached).

  2013-12-09 17:14:09,845 - DEBUG - "Fatal error: /home/phablet/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/Downloads/com.ubuntu.developer.doflah.realtai_0.1_all.click failed to install.
  Cannot install /home/phablet/.local/share/ubuntu-download-manager/Downloads/com.ubuntu.developer.doflah.realtai_0.1_all.click: Cannot acquire permission to write to /opt/click.ubuntu.com; either run as root with --user, or use "pkcon install-local" instead

  Looks like permissions have become screwy on /opt/click.ubuntu.com

  drwxr-xr-x   3 root   root    4096 Dec  3 14:08 opt
  drwxr-xr-x 133 dnsmasq ssh 8192 Dec  2 20:57 click.ubuntu.com

  Every folder inside /opt/click.ubuntu.com is owned by dnsmasq
