Bug#626722: yade: FTBFS: tries writing to $HOME during build

[Christoph Egger]

Package: src:yade
Version: 0.60.2-2
Severity: important

Hi!

yade tries writing to $HOME during build which is not allowed for debian
packages. AS $HOME points to a invalid directory on buildds to test for
this kind of bugs it fgails to build there.

See for example
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=yade&arch=kfreebsd-amd64&ver=0.60.2-2&stamp=1304912109

  File "/build/buildd-yade_0.60.2-2-armel-7Iv8CI/yade-0.60.2/SConstruct", line 326:
    exec("import %s"%m)
  File "<string>", line 1:
    None
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 766:
    rcParams = rc_params()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 684:
    fname = matplotlib_fname()
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 597:
    fname = os.path.join(get_configdir(), 'matplotlibrc')
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 248:
    ret = func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/matplotlib/__init__.py", line 471:
    raise RuntimeError("Failed to create %s/.matplotlib; consider setting MPLCONFIGDIR to a writable directory for matplotlib configuration data"%h)

Regards

    Christoph
