Hi Dominic, I disagree that a build trying to write to $HOME is OK: I've filed bugs for this for a long time, and no other packages in the archive do that currently AFAIK. So, I'm bumping severity to serious. An easy workaround is usually to create a temporary homedir in /tmp and set $HOME to that. Lucas
