I don't think this is a bug in reprotest. As far as I can see by looking in dpkg source tree, `dpkg-buildpackage` doesn't do anything to the DISPLAY variable etiher. So I would assume building the package might fail just as well without reprotest. If building the package requires to unset DISPLAY, I think this should be done in `debian/rules`… One take though, maybe reprotest should ensure that $HOME is set to an existing (temporary) directory; other building tools might get unhappy. -- Lunar .''`. lu...@debian.org : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
