Package: elinks
Version: 0.10.4-1
Severity: important
Latest Debian ELinks build gives me:
Permission to run this program as root user was disabled at compile
time.
It seems like someone had this awful idea to compile Debian ELinks build
with --enable-no-root. Please either remove this, or add something like
"This is Debian's fault. Get your own ELinks from
http://elinks.or.cz/ to fix the issue."
to the message, so that we stop getting bands of unhappy users hitting
us, likely to get worse when it bubbles through to testing.
I think it makes ELinks unusable to a large degree in its area. I have
let the --enable-no-root switch to go in in the upstream mainly since I
thought that noone sane who knows what is he doing will enable it.
Apparently, I was wrong. :/
Thanks,
