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Please remove or update the outdated file.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
