Bug#813119: ngspice: FTBFS with nonexistant $HOME

[Andreas Beckmann]

Source: ngspice
Version: 26-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Current pbuilder changed the build environment to use a nonexistant
$HOME directory. Neither the build process nor the build tools should
have to access $HOME during the build. Also the (non-)existence of
something in $HOME must not influence the build process.

This is probably a problem in lyx and not your packge, but I didn't
investigate further.
