Review request for KDE Frameworks.


Repository: kservice


Description
-------

3 commits fixing; a crash, what caused the crash, and why we weren't auto recovering from it.

QFile::open() will return a Read/Write error on failed access,
PermissionsError is only in the result of a setPermissions call.

CCBUG: 342438

Don't write kbuildsycoca cache files as root

$HOME is often preserved as root, making us write cache files in the
user's home directory. People shouldn't be running apps as root anyway.

CCBUG: 342438

Guard against being unable to open stream

This can happen if we are unable to open the database when a
notifyDatabaseChanged signal is emitted.
Other places guard also against this eventuality.

BUG: 342438
