Package: qwinff
Version: 0.2.1-1
Severity: grave

Steps to reproduce the problem:
 - run qwinff from the desktop launcher of from a terminal emulator

What happens:
 - An error dialog is shown with the message "Cannot load
/home/user/constants.xml. The program will exit now."
 - In addition, when qwinff is launched from a terminal, there is the
error "Failed to read file: "/home/user/constants.xml"
 - Clicking the "Ok" button closes the error message, but the program
is in fact still running (appears in ps aux output/task managers).
When run from a terminal it does not give back STDIN unless I
stop/kill/Ctrl+C it

Workaround:
 - a quick search reveals a file /usr/share/qwinff/constants.xml.
Copying this file to /home/user/constants.xml makes the error message
disappear. A second message is shown about missing presets.xml, the
same workaround can be applied (it's also in /usr/share/qwinff/)

Suggested fix:
I don't know. The makefile
(https://github.com/qwinff/qwinff/blob/master/Makefile#L65)
explicitely says to install these files in $(DATA_PATH) so I assume
this path was incorrectly set when the package was built. Rebuild and
test this time :)

Severity grave because the program does not work at all by default
unless you find the workaround.

Thank you in advance
