ghc should not fail if HOME is not set. It certainly cannot look up local packages then, but ghc should work without those, too.

ghc is a compiler like gcc. Does gcc need HOME?

Hi,

new FTBFS coming up: ghc fails if HOME is not set, which is apparently
the case on some buildds. I’m now setting HOME to a dummy variable in
debian/rules and building it right now in a pbuilder (with HOME not
set...).

We’ll need to see if this affects the libraries as well. If that is the
case, it can be easily fixed in haskell-devscripts.

Greetings,
Joachim
