[Bug 1250668] [NEW] upstart session for dbus has hard coded .cache directory

[Cuero]

Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 13.10
Release:        13.10


Package: dbus
Architecture: amd64
Version: 1.6.12-0ubuntu10


The file /usr/share/upstart/sessions/dbus.conf contains a hardcoded path
to the .cache directory, making the use of XDG_CACHE_HOME variable non
working.

The fix could to change line
echo "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" >$HOME/.cache/upstart/dbus-session
into
echo "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" >${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/upstart/dbus-session

I tested it and it works for me...

** Affects: dbus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: upstart (Ubuntu) => dbus (Ubuntu)
