Bug Description

1.Description: Linux Mint 15 Olivia
Release: 15

2.terminator:
  Installed: 0.96-2fakesync1
  Candidate: 0.96-2fakesync1
  Version table:
 *** 0.96-2fakesync1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3.install as normal.
4.install proceeded as normal, terminator package functions properly, however in all user terminals history function ceased. After some google-fu, checked ~/.bash_history and found instead of $user:$user, it was root:root for ownership.

FIX: sudo chown $user:$user ~./bash_history
Uncertain as to why installation would chown history file, but it's sorted now, and all terminals recognize history file properly.
