Testing this, the relevant menu option is File > GIF Animation > Import GIF To X Pixmap Deck... which, after picking an animated GIF, says Cannot find 'cd' in the PATH. Would you like to execute 'cd /root/.Tgif/; gifsicle -eU /root/.Tgif/TgifRXgWqG' anyway? there is a normal error for failure.
Which is (a) ludicrous, and (b) yes, fails when you don't have gifsicle.
gifsicle -eU dumps the output into the working directory.
Thus, as I see it, this is three bugs:
1. tgif should Recommends: gifsicle
(it's small enough that pulling it into a default install is fine IMO)
2. tgif shouldn't do this weird pre-parsing with a warning that Must Fail
(indeed, it always shows the warning, even if you have gifsicle)
3. tgif should run cd && gifsicle instead of cd ; gifsicle
(otherwise, if the cd fails, gifsicle will dump everything into the
tgif working directory)
