[Python-modules-team] Bug#719384: yade: FTBFS: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith'

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 1.3.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #719384

yes -- this is a very inconvenient bug since prevents clean and build
operations on setup.py while $HOME is pointing to non-existing directory.  As a
workaround I am doomed now to mkdir -p $$HOME (which is $(CURDIR)/build) in the
debian/rules .

I have reported it upstream meanwhile since their code still seems to be impaired:

Cheers,
