Bug#875636: lintian ignores profiles under $HOME



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.50.4
Severity: important

lintian ignores profiles under $HOME. Previous versions of lintian recognized profiles under $HOME. I'm not sure exactly when the regression happened. At least some version of lintian in Jessie worked.

The order in which lintian searches for profiles is documented at https://lintian.debian.org/manual/section-2.5.html in section 2.5.1. But in my case the search seems to be skipping $HOME.

Here is a transcript showing the issue:

$ env
MAIL=/var/mail/buildbot-worker
USER=buildbot-worker
HOME=/var/lib/buildbot-worker
LOGNAME=buildbot-worker
TERM=xterm
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
SHELL=/bin/sh
PWD=/var/lib/buildbot-worker

$ ls $HOME/.lintian/profiles/buildbot
main.profile

$ lintian --info --profile buildbot buildbot-master_0.9.11-1+4.sid.2c3cdb66640084a9aa9cca640b0c9c49853179d5.dsc Cannot find profile buildbot (in /usr/share/lintian/profiles) at /usr/share/lintian/commands/lintian line 1561.
