Package: gv Version: 1:3.6.5-2 Severity: normal
When trying to use gv (freshly installed Lenny machine but existing user account) I obtain gv Error: incompatible resources. One of the files /usr/share/gv/gv_system.ad /home/user/.Xresources belongs to an older version of gv and can not be used. Please remove or update the outdated file. Quite probable your ~/.gv is too old. Running gv-update-userconfig should help by removing all incomatible resources. It turns out however that while I do have a .Xresources file I dont have a .gv one. In addition my .Xresources file does not contain any configuration related to gv. Running gv-update-userconfig fails claiming that I don't have a .gv file (which is true). I noticed that simply removing the .Xresources file does solve the problem but a user should not be forced to do that. Finally the following somewhat unnatural fix was necessary: cat /dev/null > .gv gv-update-userconfig -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.28-soba (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gv depends on: ii ghostscript-x [gs- 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny0 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii gs-esp 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny0 Transitional package ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-17 Xaw3d widget set gv recommends no packages. gv suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
