This is a bug on breezy.  It took me quite some time to understand what
is going on (I still don't know the full details) and to come up with a
fix.  It's basically a hack: check-manifest will create a
~/.config/breezy directory tree if it doesn't exist.  breezy absolutely
shouldn't fail if this directory isn't there, but unfortunately it
does.

I also decided to force $HOME to be /tmp, since it's not always possible
to guarantee that it will be set or be writable.

I'll upload a fixed package soon, but thought I'd let you know.

Thanks,
