Source: dbus Version: 1.4.12-2 Severity: minor Some of the regression tests built by dbus >= 1.4.12 use TCP connections. These tests want to write to the user's home directory (using getent passwd or equivalent, ignoring $HOME), so they fail or time out on the buildds, leading to FTBFS of 1.4.12-1 and 1.5.4-1 on most architectures.
I've disabled running the tests during build, but it would be better if we could enable them. We may need to patch libdbus to either believe $HOME, or have a new $DBUS_HOME or something, analogous to a patch we already apply to GLib.
