It seems that your building system is setting HOME to an non-existent
directory. How do you explain that ?
In this case, given its name, the variable is set by sbuild
before starting the build. This is the standard software used to
build packages by the official autobuilders and also by anybody
doing archive-rebuilds for QA purposes.
You can find such HOME=/sbuild-nonexistent line in any successful
build log as well:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=octave&arch=amd64&ver=8.4.0-1%2Bb1&stamp=1700257373&raw=0
After sbuild sets HOME to an unwritable value, some debhelper tools,
it seems, may in turn set HOME to a temporary writable directory in certain
circumstances which I still have not studied carefully.
The thing I don't understand here is why this problem in octave-vibes
was diagnosed as an "unwritable $HOME" in the first place.
Thanks.
