[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Bug#696262: bitcoin FTBFS: tests fail assuming a RW $HOME

[Scott Howard]

Package: src:bitcoin
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: serious
Tags: sid
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)


Several build failures on multiple archs because buildd machines don't
have writable /home/buildd.

This affects test suites.

Exact failure:
Test setup error: std::runtime_error:
boost::filesystem::create_directory: No such file or directory:
"/home/buildd/.bitcoin"
