Bug Description

click-user-hooks fails when starting the phablet session, making it unable to start any click packages:

Error (also from the crash file):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/click", line 86, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/bin/click", line 82, in main
    return mod.run(args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/click/commands/hook.py", line 74, in run
    Click.run_user_hooks(db, user_name=options.user)
gi._glib.GError: symlink /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet/.com.ubuntu.calculator.new -> /usr/share/click/preinstalled/com.ubuntu.calculator/0.1.3.224 failed: No such file or directory

It seems that this error happens because phablet is unable to create any file/dir at /opt/click.ubuntu.com:
$ ls -l /opt/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 clickpkg clickpkg 4096 Mar 12 04:00 click.ubuntu.com

Besides not having enough permission to create any file at /opt/click.ubuntu.com, it seems to expect a valid /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet directory when running the user hook.

After creating /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet by hand I'm able to run the user hook (and then able to start a click package as well).

I expect this depends whether you previously had any apps unpacked at all.

If you've created directories by hand to work around this, please be careful to get their ownership right to avoid future issues (I make no promises about handling this automatically if you've created directories by hand with incorrect ownership):

This bug was fixed in the package click - 0.4.18.3

---------------
click (0.4.18.3) trusty; urgency=medium

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Take a slightly different approach to fixing "click hook run-user": only
    try to update user registration symlinks if they already exist in the
    overlay database.

click (0.4.18.2) trusty; urgency=medium

  * Make "click hook run-user" ensure that the user registration directory
    exists before dropping privileges and trying to create symlinks in it
    (LP: #1291192).
