Package: approx
Version: 2.8.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello,
after moving approx to a different machine, I removed but didn't purge
it. After that, the configured cron.weekly job fails with:
/etc/cron.weekly/approx: line 5: /usr/sbin/gc_approx: No such file
or directory
run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/approx exited with return code 1
Also, since I moved everything out of /var/cache/approx to the other
machine, i.e. /var/cache/approx is empty, the second part of the
cron.weekly job fails as well with:
rmdir: /var/cache/approx/.: Invalid argument
Attached is a patch to fix these problems.
Kind regards
Wolfgang Karall
