Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use "apt-get build-dep firefox" to obtain build dependencies
2. Use "apt-get sources firefox" to obtain the firefox package
(firefox_29.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2).
3. Run "dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -j12" to build the package
During the build process the following python packages are installed to the
default location ($HOME/py-bin and $HOME/py-lib):
compare-dirs
compare-locales
easy_install
pip
These packages depend on the virtualenv python interpreter located at
firefox-29.0+build1/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/_virtualenv/bin/python and do
not work if the firefox package source is later deleted.
The build process for this package should be modified to prevent these
external side effects by overriding the location of py-bin and py-lib to
be within the source directory.
The build process itself always fails if "compare-locales" is not in the
path before building (#1320004), but this can be resolved by installing
it to a py-bin directory within the source directory at the start of the
build process (instead of somewhere in the middle of it).
