Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.16 Severity: serious Hello,
The dep8 specification says: Tests can expect that the ``$HOME`` environment variable to be set to a directory that exists and is writeable by the user running the test. But when using schroot (not tried anythong else), $HOME is set to the HOME of the user running the autopkgtest and does not exists in the schroot. So either the spec is wrong or the implementation. Kind regards, Laurent Bigonville -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_BE:fr Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: SELinux: enabled - Mode: Permissive - Policy name: refpolicy Versions of packages autopkgtest depends on: ii apt-utils 2.2.2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.20.7.1 ii procps 2:3.3.17-5 ii python3 3.9.2-3 ii python3-debian 0.1.39 Versions of packages autopkgtest recommends: ii autodep8 0.24 Versions of packages autopkgtest suggests: pn lxc <none> pn lxd <none> ii ovmf 2020.11-4 pn qemu-efi-aarch64 <none> pn qemu-efi-arm <none> pn qemu-system <none> ii qemu-utils 1:5.2+dfsg-9 ii schroot 1.6.10-12 pn vmdb2 <none> -- no debconf information
