[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#749010: eso-midas: FTBFS: expects writable HOME

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: eso-midas
Version: 13.09pl1.2+dfsg-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Automated builds of eso-midas have been failing:

  /«BUILDDIR»/eso-midas-13.09pl1.2+dfsg/13SEP/system/unix//inmidas -j "@ compile.all"
  mkdir: cannot create directory '/sbuild-nonexistent/midwork': No such file or directory
  Could not create directory /sbuild-nonexistent/midwork
  make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_build] Error 1

The build evidently tries to work under $HOME, which autobuilders
typically set to /sbuild-nonexistent because builds shouldn't be
touching it.  Please arrange for it to work elsewhere, for instance by
repointing HOME to a specially created directory within the build area.

Thanks!
