[cw-discuss] Upgrade caches bad HOME dir

[Richard Lemay]

Usually, one way to solve this problem is to do a search/replace in your 
home directory to correct the references. Since "/home/pwaldo" is not 
something generic, you can use the tool 'rpl' to correct these 
references (check in the software list of your distro, most of them have 
this tool).

You do:

cd /home
rpl -R /home/pwaldo /home/new new

(replace new with your new home directory
ex:
rpl -R /home/pwaldo /home/paul paul
)

Usually, it will take care of the problem along with other problems you 
may have with any software that use absolute path in its configuration.
