vmbuilder doesn't clean up temporary files when interrupted

[Randy Barlow]

If you interrupt the operation of python-vm-builder with the KeyboardInterrupt, it won't clean up after itself. The version of vmbuilder that comes with Karmic I believe might do this (haven't checked, but it does seem to go through a cleanup step). This would be friendly behavior.

These files/directories in /tmp can be quite big, and managed to fill up the filesystem on our server twice (one time me, one time my brother;-)

Confirmed with 0.12.3-0ubuntu1.

I have a fix for this already. I'll upload it shortly, probably
tomorrow.

Hi Soren

Nice to hear that!

[Paul Ryan (tolzidan)]

Was this issue ever resolved? I ask because on natty it appears to still be present...
