Bug Description
If a user was to download a package and have that in their home directory, the clickpkg user might not be able to read the file, and thus couldn't install it on the system. Basically this:
~/Desktop$ sudo click install --force-
Should work even if the user's home directory is not accessible by the clickpkg user.

This bug was fixed in the package click - 0.2.9
---------------
click (0.2.9) saucy; urgency=low
* Tolerate dangling source symlinks in "click desktophook".
* Handle the case where the clickpkg user cannot read the .click file,
using some LD_PRELOAD trickery to allow passing it as a file descriptor
opened by the privileged process (LP: #1204523).
* Remove old links for single-version hooks when installing new versions
(LP: #1206115).
