Hi, thanks for reporting this. I'm a bit confused why this just
happened since I only added cpio As a manual build depend in this
release and it builds fine in pbuilder. Must be something different
about the buildd setup.
Probablly, pbuilder and buildd setups aren't quite the same which does
bite maintainers sometimes. Just to be even more annoying the buildds
often aren't exactly consistent with each other.
I'll do some investigating and upload tonight.
Incidentally, is your patch a common way to fix problems like this?
It's certainly one i've seen used before, it gets the package building
in a way that is safe and unintrusive.
Needing a writable home just seems like a bug to me but I haven't had
a chance to look at the code yet.
Personally I tend to think that in general requiring a writable home is
poor behaviour but whether it actually constitutes a bug in a particular
case is a descision for those intimately involved with the program, not
flyby bugsquashers like me (I know I submitted this bug but I only
noticed it because I saw a FTBFS bug had been closed very quickly and
decided to check the buildd logs to see if it had been fixed properly or
not).
