Comment 3 for bug 1407241

This bug was fixed in the package transmission - 2.84-0.2ubuntu1

---------------
transmission (2.84-0.2ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1407241). Remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Build-depend on libappindicator3-dev
    - debian/transmission-daemon.upstart: add upstart job

transmission (2.84-0.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer upload.
  * transmission-daemon.postinst:
    - Change home directory of transmission-daemon to
      /var/lib/transmission-daemon from /home/debian-transmission.
      Thanks to Alex Peters for the report. (Closes: #734467)
    - Disable password authentication for debian-transmission user for
      improved security. Logins with e.g. SSH RSA keys are still possible.
    - Check existence of debian-transmission user with getent passwd
      debian-transmission instead of id.
  * Add transmission-daemon.preinst:
    - Fix permissions in /var/lib/transmission-daemon and use
      /var/lib/transmission-daemon as the new home directory.
    - Move old configuration files to appropriate config directory
      /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon.
      All together this ensures that transmission-daemon will not segfault
      when systemd is the default init system.
      Thanks to Andrei Popescu and Antoine Legonidec for the report and
      additional tests. (Closes: #718624)
  * transmission-daemon.links:
    - Link settings.json from /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json to
      /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon.
    - Link /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon to
      /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info due to compatibility reasons with
      the old sysv-rc init script settings.
  * transmission-daemon.dirs:
    - Do not create /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info anymore.
