Package: firebird2.5
Version: 2.5.0.25920~ReleaseCandidate2.ds2-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

apparently, some firebird utilities try to access lock directory during package
build process. This directory is /tmp/firebird by default and is configurable by
FIREBIRD_LOCK at runtime. Due to this issue, if /tmp/firebird already exists
and is inaccessible (e.g. created by another user or leftover from the
previous build), firebird2.5 will FTBFS. Ideally, firebird2.5 should not access
global lock files during build process, therefore I recommended to set
FIREBIRD_LOCK to a location in the package build directory in order to avoid it
creating lock files in /tmp when building the package.
