Bug#388399: FTBFS problems on alpha, mips[el]: Please help debugging (was: Bug#388399: Processed: Re: Bug#388399: gnuplot: FTBFS)
Dear Buildd admins, there seems to be a problem with packages that build-depend on tetex, which only manifests on the alpha, mips and mipsel buildds. We need your help to investigate this, please see below.

Does any of these directories exist, and would the user under whose name the build is done have write access there? The TeX packages usually create their fonts in a hierarchy below the user's home directory. Especially for buildds, we have arranged that when the home directory does not exist or is not writable, fonts are cached in /tmp/texfonts. Could it be that on the affected systems, the directories in /home/buildd already exist, but are not writable? Alternatively, it would also make sense to copy /usr/bin/mktexmf to /usr/local/bin on the buildd and add a "set -x" at the beginning, and trigger a new build of gnuplot.

Maybe the home directory just doesn't exist. The strange thing is that mktexmf, which is called here, looks like this: [...] destdir=`echo "$MT_MFNAME" | sed 's%/[^/][^/]*$%%'` test -d "$destdir" || "$MT_MKTEXDIR" "$destdir" || exit 1 cd "$destdir" || exit 1 [...] cat > "mf$$.tmp" <$STDOUT echo "$progname: $destdir/$mfname: successfully generated." >&2 "$MT_MKTEXUPD" "$destdir" "$mfname" [...] >From the succesfull messages at the end of mktexmf we know that $destdir was /home/buildd/.texmf-var/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/, which must have existed otherwise the script would have been terminated before. So at first sight it looks as if $destdir was created but without write permissions.
