Package: wifi-radar Version: 1.9.6-2 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line ***
As a normal user I typed: $ /usr/sbin/wifi-radar and was rewarded with: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/wifi-radar", line 1357, in ? confFile.write( open( CONF_FILE, "w" ) ) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/wifi-radar.conf' That's fine, time to read the manpage. It states that the wifi-radar.conf file is in these locations: /etc/conf.d/wifi-radar.conf /etc/wifi-radar/wifi-radar.conf neither of which is correct according to the traceback above. A quick check of the source confirms this. Please consider applying the patch attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages wifi-radar depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.4 Debian configuration management sy ii dhcp3-client 3.0.4-8 DHCP Client ii menu 2.1.30 generates programs menu for all me ii python 2.4.3-11 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-gtk2 2.8.6-5 Python bindings for the GTK+ widge ii wireless-tools 28-1 Tools for manipulating Linux Wirel Versions of packages wifi-radar recommends: ii wpasupplicant 0.5.4-5 Client support for WPA and WPA2 (I -- debconf information: wifi-radar/wifi_interface:
