reference to /home/jvinet

I have been analyzing my print system because of some problems and stumbled upon something strange along the way. When I trace the file calls of the command "kprinter" (the KDE printing dialog), it is looking for files in the directory /home/jvinet.
I guess this is no coincidence, but I don't think it is ok either, is it? Can anyone explain this?

[23:22 frank: ~]$ strace -eopen kprinter
...
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/tls/i686/mmx/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/tls/i686/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/tls/mmx/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/tls/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/i686/mmx/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/i686/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/mmx/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/home/jvinet/arch/build/lib/qt/src/qt-x11-free-3.3.3/plugins/imageformats/libjpeg.so.62", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
...

Is this bad packaging? I suppose an Arch package should not have any reference to /home/jvinet (the user jvinet does not exist on my machine, of course, so I assume it is a fixed call coming with the package).

Maybe I should post this on some "this program phones home" site ;-)

Judd should include his ~ in packages so we don't have these problems

Or submit a bug report hehe

hahaha nice one judd....

though i made a bittornado package which has similar stuff in it, but only for debug messages.... like "error in file /home/archlinux/build/bittornado/src/somefile.py"

I was not sure, whether it really is a bug. It doesn't break anything (the program keeps looking in other directories for the file til it finds it), but is that proper packaging? I am not experienced enough to Juddge this ;-)

yeah file a bug report - it's a bug none-the-less... it may not be fixable, but set it to a relatively low priority
