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? Cheers Christian Am 25.03.2011 08:26, schrieb Joachim Breitner:
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

Does gcc have a package database? :-) Of course, GHC should work without HOME set, it's just a bug. Please file a ticket. Cheers, Simon
