I don't know what would be the best to fix this bug:
* fix kwiki's documentation to mention that 'kwiki -new my_kwki' is not
sufficient.
* Fix libkwiki-perl so that the wiki directory created after -new is
usable.
* package kwiki2
Calling handle_update_all (or unlinking registry.dd) at the end of
handle_new in Command.pm fixes the second point.
There is still a documentation issue (Kwiki::Command only documents
-new, and mentions -update, -install, -remove, -new_view), so I leave it
up to libkwiki-perl or kwiki's maintainers to apply the patch or to drop
kwiki from Etch (and package kwiki2, which seams to have more
documentation)
PS: Also upstream recommends not to install 0.38:
http://search.cpan.org/src/INGY/Kwiki-0.39/README
(maybe it's just to promote the new Kwiki2; which will have an upgrade
path from Kwiki: http://www.kwiki.org/?UpgradingToKwiki2)
Kind Regards,
