Thanks for this report. This FTBFS is because nunit-console uses Mono's registry API to store user settings. Mono unconditionally stores these settings in ~/.mono/registry/. It doesn't appear to have a facility to override this at all. Thus, if HOME is not writable and an application uses the registry, the build will fail. I'm assigning a clone to mono, and I suggested to hyperair that, until this bug is fixed, we should disable the tests in gstreamer-sharp. I reported two bugs about this. One is that you cannot override SpecialFolders.Personal (it doesn't use $HOME) http://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=357 and the other is that the registry isn't stored in $XDG_CONFIG_DIR (if it was, we'd be able to set that and wouldn't have this problem) http://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=358 If either of these bugs get fixed then we should be able to export the appropriate env vars in Debian package builds to get nunit tests working again.
