Bug#706172: antlr3 attempts to install files in /usr/share/maven-repo on building (FTBFS)

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Package: antlr3
Version: 3.2-7
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

I'm unable to build antlr3, it fails to install the pom in debian/maven-repo:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] Error installing artifact: Unable to open file /home/ebourg/antlr3/debian/maven-repo/org/antlr/antlr-master/3.2/antlr-master-3.2.pom for writing.


The pom can't be installed because debian/maven-repo/org/antlr/antlr-master/3.2
is a symlink to /usr/share/maven-repo/org/antlr/antlr-master/3.2 :

ebourg at debiandev:~/antlr3$ ll /home/ebourg/antlr3/debian/maven-repo/org/antlr/antlr-master/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 ebourg ebourg 4096 Apr 25 22:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 ebourg ebourg 4096 Apr 25 22:25 ..

lrwxrwxrwx 1 ebourg ebourg   48 Apr 25 22:25 3.x -> /usr/share/maven-repo/org/antlr/antlr-master/3.x

Thus it's only possible to build the package as root.
