Description
Before whatever change #6940 was undoing, a non-existing CARGO_HOME
worked with --frozen
. But despite #6940, upgrading cargo to 1.36/0.37 on Debian broke Firefox builds on Debian builders, where they now fail with:
ERROR: Couldn't execute `cargo metadata` with manifest "/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/toolkit/library/rust/Cargo.toml": Metadata(Output { status: ExitStatus(ExitStatus(25856)), stdout: "", stderr: "error: failed to acquire package cache lock\n\nCaused by:\n failed to open: /sbuild-nonexistent/.cargo/.package-cache\n\nCaused by:\n Permission denied (os error 13)\n" })
ERROR: Couldn't generate bindings for /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/toolkit/library/rust.
/sbuild-nonexistent
comes from HOME
being set to that value, and not existing, which ensures building packages doesn't rely on doing anything with $HOME
.
A minimal reproducer:
$ cargo new foo
Created binary (application) `foo` package
$ cd foo
$ CARGO_HOME=/forbidden cargo build --frozen
error: failed to acquire package cache lock
Caused by:
failed to open: /forbidden/.package-cache
Caused by:
Permission denied (os error 13)
