reproducible in docker container (buster or sid).

Seems in fact related to libchado-perl, not chado-utils (but
libchado-perl is a dependency, reason why it failed).

Issue is with (I think) $USER being not set in containers. postinstall
script (Makefile.PL) expects CHADO_DB_USERNAME or USER env vars.

Not yet clear to me if CHADO_DB_USERNAME is required anyway.

So I think we could "move" bug to libchado-perl (do you know if there is
a way to move a bug to an other package?) , a patch would be set to set:


exportCHADO_DB_USERNAME=chado


in libchado-perl postinst next to export CHADO_DB_NAME

I will do the patch
