[GNC] check failed test-userdata-dir-invalid-home building gnucash 5.9 on Linux Mint 22 Wilma

[Geert Janssens]

Hi John,

Do you have the environment variable GNC_DATA_HOME set in your environment, 
pointing at /home/john/gnucash ?

That may explain the failing test.

The test is not relevant for the proper functioning of gnucash in normal 
circumstances though, so you can ignore the issue. It tests for the corner 
case that no valid home directory exists for the current user. You're not in 
that situation.

I will see if I can improve the test to also work when GNC_DATA_HOME is set 
for a future release.

Regards,

Geert
