With etckeeper installed in Ubuntu using git as its VCS, using the Ubuntu Software Center fails with errors
installArchives() failed: fatal: $HOME not set
Correct this by adding the following file, /etc/etckeeper/pre-install.d/20setenv:
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/etckeeper/pre-install.d/20setenv: set HOME dir due to
# unpassed environment in priviledge escallation of Ubuntu Software Center.
# see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etckeeper/+bug/1335391
if \[[ -z \"$HOME\" ]]; then
export HOME=$(getent passwd root | cut -d: -f6)
fi
Also, ensure that the root account's git environment is properly initialized:
root@janus:/etc# git config -l
user.name=Root Janus
user.email=codex24@gmail.com
