[Bug 1242142] [NEW] aptitude-create-state-bundle stopps if user home encrypted && not mounted

[schnollk]

Public bug reported:

Hi there.

aptitude-create-state-bundle --print-inputs
/home/$USER/.aptitude
/var/lib/aptitude
/var/lib/apt
/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin
/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin
/etc/apt
/var/lib/dpkg/status

but since i chrooted and have home not mounted it goes

# aptitude-create-state-bundle aptitude-state-bundle.tar.gz
tar: .//home/$USER/.aptitude: Kann stat nicht ausführen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
tar: Beende mit Fehlerstatus aufgrund vorheriger Fehler

it should have an option which files/folders to exclude from bundle
(replaced actual user folder name by "$USER").

Thanks for all effort everyone!
