pbuilder sets the home directory of the pbuilder user to /nonexistent to make sure that builds don't modify files in the home directory, which is forbidden by Debian Policy (for good reason builds are not supposed to change things outside the build directory). In your case the build process does try create the directory $HOME/.m2/repository, and that fails because of this. So in this case pbuilder caught the problem very early. I'm not in the Java packaging community, but from a little searching .m2 appears to be created by the Maven build system, and I know for sure there is software packaged in Debian that uses Maven, so maybe you'd want to take a look at those packages how they do their build. Hope that helps. Regards, Christian
