[Robie Basak (racb)]

Is this actually bug 1488453? The home directory ownership warning looks like a red herring to me.

[Ryan Beisner (1chb1n)]

@racb yep, that was my original take on this, but somehow I convinced myself otherwise apparently. Either way, hacluster won't install on V/W. ;-)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
