update manager has hard-wired /home path

[Jim Thorsley]

Binary package hint: update-manager

When trying to update Feisty the update manager emits an error from python. It seems that /home it hard-wired into the code.
I don't have a /home (I have a /lhome) since the network manager want to be able to nfs-mount my network home. The error
I get from my .xsession-errors file is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py", line 572, in on_button_install_clicked
    self.cache.checkFreeSpace()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeCache.py", line 946, in checkFreeSpace
    st = os.statvfs(d)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home'

When I went in and changed the "/home" to "/lhome" in line 946 all worked fine. Of course, this is not a good solution.

Just thought you'd like to know.
