Bug Description
Binary package hint: cloud-init
if HOME is not available in the environment, then ssh-import-lp-id will write (or attempt to write) to /.ssh .
2 paths:
1. fail, say "HOME must be set", exit 1
2. try harder to get home, if you can't then fail
Here is how to try harder:
gethome() {
local id=$1 pwline="" home=""
{ [ -n "$id" ] || id=$(id -u) ; } || return 1
pwline=$(getent passwd "${id}") || return 1
home=$(echo "${pwline}" | awk -F: '{print $6}') || return 1
[ -n "${home}" ] && echo "${home}"
}
{ [ -n "$HOME" ] || HOME=$(gethome); } || fail "failed to get HOME"
echo HOME=${HOME}
