Package: tcsh Version: 6.18.01-2 Severity: serious The tcsh testsuite wrongly assumes that $HOME and ~$(id -un) directories are the same, which is not the case when the HOME environment variable is modified. This is the case on the build daemons which now set the HOME environment variable to /sbuild-nonexistent. As a consequence new builds now fail on the build daemons [1] [2].
The attached patch fixes the issue by disabling this wrong test.
