poldek -O cachedir still attempts to lock unwritable system dir

[Elan Ruusamäe]

# grep cachedir /etc/poldek/poldek.conf
# Cache directory for downloaded files. NOTE that parent directory of cachedir
cachedir = /var/cache/poldek

# la -d /var/cache/poldek/
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jun 4 17:00 /var/cache/poldek//

# rpm -q poldek
poldek-0.30.0-1.rc7.2.x86_64

which such setup, i can't use different cachedir with non-root:

# sudo -H -u http poldek -O cachedir='/var/cache/dokuwiki/poldek' --up

error: open /var/cache/poldek/http_distrib.pld.pld.th.noarch/.vflock__var.cache.poldek.http.distrib.pld.pld.th.noarch: Permission denied
error: /var/cache/poldek/http_distrib.pld.pld.th.noarch: unable to obtain lock

even --skip-installed workaround does not help:

# sudo -H -u http poldek -O cachedir='/var/cache/dokuwiki/poldek' --up --skip-installed

error: open /var/cache/poldek/http_..../.vflock__var.cache.poldek.....noarch: Permission denied

Did you try --cachedir option, i.e.:

# sudo -H -u http poldek --cachedir='/var/cache/dokuwiki/poldek' --up
