Package: preview.app
Version: 0.8.5-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
On startup, the generic GNUstep icon is displayed, no menu is drawn, etc.
This is because /usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/Preview.app/Resources
is an empty directory and not a symlink to
/usr/share/GNUstep/Preview.app as expected. At first glance, the
reason seems to be that the preinst has this variable defined:
| RESDIR=/usr/lib/GNUstep/System/Applications/$PACKAGENAME/Resources
^^^^^^
This is the location with the old GNUstep directory layout
(gnustep-make 1.x), so the commands in the case statement are never
executed. (Sorry I missed that when reviewing the package -- yet
another reason to always test upgrades.)
(BTW, you can simply rm -rf $RESDIR in the preinst if the directory
exists and is not a symlink. gnumail's script was slightly more
involved because it caters for the case when the user has added some
files of his own there, which Debian does not try to support anyway.)
