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.

A small paste from my test system where I attempt to convert button.svg to a 
button.png file

foo...@test$  inkscape -z --file=images/button.svg 
--export-png=images/button.png --export-width=32 --export-height=32

and about the system:

$ grep foobar /etc/passwd
foobar:x:1000:1000:,,,:/FOOOO:/bin/bash
$ env | grep HOME
HOME=/home/foobar/


(and /home/foobar is fully writable by the foobar user)


If any more information is needed, please speak up. I would like to be able to 
build-dep on inkscape again.
