--- Begin Message ---Package: bsdmainutils Version: 9.0.3 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I have tried to run the "/usr/bin/calendar" program provided by the "bsdmainutils" package. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? My ~/.bashrc script contains the following line: calendar -l 5 * What was the outcome of this action? When I logged in, I saw an error message: calendar: /usr/bin/cpp: No such file or directory * What outcome did you expect instead? Instead of the error message, the list of the calendar notifications should have appeared. (This indeed happens, after I manually install the missing "cpp" package). I have looked into "bsdmainutils-9.0.3/debian/control" file and "cpp" does not seem to be listed there even though it seems appropriate. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bsdmainutils depends on: ii bsdutils 1:2.20.1-5.3 ii debianutils 4.3.2 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libncurses5 5.9-10 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 bsdmainutils recommends no packages.
