Il looks like node-expand-tilde returns a directory which does not exist (sbuild-nonexistent) at this line in node-fined/test/utils/get-userhome-file.js: var userHomeDir = expandTilde('~');
This in turn triggers the exception in the next line: var userHomeFiles = fs.readdirSync(userHomeDir); Google tells me that in an sbuild chroot HOME is indeed set to /sbuild-nonexistent. Node-expand-tilde has build and autopkgtests turned on, but they pass because they do not check that the returned dir exist, only that they are consistent ! I guess we have no choice but to disable build tests. I have done so in the repo on alioth, autopkgtests are still on (although I had to disable a few also related to tilde expansion). Paolo
