[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#947995: ncbi-entrez-direct: ncbi-entrez-direct FTBFS in testing/unstable

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Aaron,

I used routine-update[1] to update the packaging of ncbi-entrez-direct.
Since this includes a new upstream version I'm hesitating with uploading
and thus stopped working on this bug.

The build now fails with

I think that's just a matter of setting $HOME to something sensible and
is probably less than 10min work for you.  Could you please take over
from here?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
