Subject: Linux/Ubuntu no Desktop or .local
I was trying to upgrade to CPAN::Testers 2 and CPAN::Reporter needs File::HomeDir. CPAN::Reporter failed to install because File::HomeDir failed to pass tests. This is ubuntu 9.1 and my cpantester user was created with the useradd command which does not appear to create a Desktop or .local/share directory. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Wetherby, UK

I've sent the report to cpan testers so it should appear on your smoke reports soon. In the mean time here is the error: Running make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /home/cpantester/perl12_1/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'inc', 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/01_compile.t ........ ok # Failed test 'Our desktop directory exists' # at t/02_main.t line 289. # Failed test 'Our desktop directory exists' # at t/02_main.t line 290. # Failed test 'Found our local data directory' # at t/02_main.t line 299. # Failed test 'Found our local data directory' # at t/02_main.t line 300. # Looks like you failed 4 tests of 51. t/02_main.t ...........

Is this a proxy issue because you're running as root (or under `sudo su`). Please check this ticket, and tell me if this issue is a duplicate of it. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=59514 Or - Did you legitimately nuke your Desktop directory? - Did your installer not provide one? -- Evan Carroll System Lord of the Internets http://www.evancarroll.com

No I was not running as root or under sudo. I had su'ed to cpantester (as login, i.e., su - cpantester). Show quoted text

I guess it has a lot of similarities. Show quoted text

No, it never existed. Show quoted text

Not sure what you mean by that. Not a big issue. I created user with adduser command (which does not create .local or Desktop dirs) and that user never logs in at the desktop. This user was created to do smoke testing. Martin -- Martin J. Evans Wetherby, UK
I think the last of these issues are now resolved. Reopen is problem persists after 0.96_02
