Package: inkscape Version: 0.45-1 Severity: important
Hi! When using inkscape non-interactively in a environment where the home as defined in /etc/passwd is not available, inkscape fails to do anything. The main problem here is that this maybe unusual setup is very much used in the debian buildds As far as I can see, it uses the glib function g_get_home_dir to get the homedir. g_get_home_dir does not honour $HOME, so it is impossible to work around. According to glib people, it is a bug in inkscape ( debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=326273 is fixed as a documentation issue) inkscape should not fail under these conditions.
