Hi Aaron, I used routine-update[1] to update the packaging of ncbi-entrez-direct. Since this includes a new upstream version I'm hesitating with uploading and thus stopped working on this bug.
The build now fails with ... dh_auto_build install amino-acid-composition archive-pubmed between-two-genes entrez-phrase-search fetch-pubmed filter-stop-words index-pubmed intersect-uid-lists join-into-groups-of pm-* protein-neighbors reorder-columns sort-uniq-count* stream-pubmed word-at-a-time xy-plot debian/efetch debian/einfo bin/ mkdir -p /build/ncbi-entrez-direct-13.3.20200128+ds/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/github.com/fiam ln -s ../rainycape /build/ncbi-entrez-direct-13.3.20200128+ds/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/github.com/fiam/gounidecode go build -v -gccgoflags '-g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/ncbi-entrez-direct-13.3.20200128+ds=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -Wl,--as-needed' -o bin/xtract \ xtract.go common.go failed to initialize build cache at /nonexistent/.cache/go-build: mkdir /nonexistent: permission denied make[1]: *** [debian/rules:84: override_dh_auto_build] Error 1 ... I think that's just a matter of setting $HOME to something sensible and is probably less than 10min work for you. Could you please take over from here? Kind regards Andreas.
