package roaraudio (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I tried to install roaraudio.
There was an error message about "/home/<$USER/ is not mine".
The package ended up in the partially installed / unconfigured state.
Subsequent attempts to configure it yielded the same result.
I was forced to uninstall it.
