[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#630152: dbus: tests disabled because they fail if the user has no home directory

[Simon McVittie]

Source: dbus
Version: 1.4.12-2
Severity: minor

Some of the regression tests built by dbus >= 1.4.12 use TCP connections.
These tests want to write to the user's home directory (using getent passwd
or equivalent, ignoring $HOME), so they fail or time out on the buildds,
leading to FTBFS of 1.4.12-1 and 1.5.4-1 on most architectures.

I've disabled running the tests during build, but it would be better if we
could enable them. We may need to patch libdbus to either believe $HOME,
or have a new $DBUS_HOME or something, analogous to a patch we already
apply to GLib.
