[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53557] pkg.tst should not write to the test directory or the user's home directory

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #53557 (project octave):

I don't think the tests are the issue.  I think they probably just expose the
fact that the underlying pkg routines depend on a HOME variable that points to
a directory with read access.

FWIW, when I use run-octave with a non-existent or non-writeable directory I
get a Qt message box that pops up with


Configuration file "/tmp/tmphome/.config/lt-octave-guirc" not writable.
Please contact your system administrator.


The command then hangs.
