Title:
charmap command missing after upgrade to 20.04 (Focal Fossa)
Status in gucharmap package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
After upgrading to the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS beta (gucharmap version
1:13.0.1-1), I found that the charmap command was missing. After some
searching I discovered it still exists with the name gucharmap. Maybe
it was always called gucharmap and there used to be a symlink from
charmap which the upgrade removed?
The charmap(1) manpage still exists, as a symlink to gucharmap. It's
weird having a manpage for a command that doesn't exist.
Please could we have a charmap symlink (back)? At least some users are
used to using that name.
The changelog mentions previously fixing the charmap symlink in version
0.6.0-1:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=187522
and installing the charmap.1 link in version 1:2.24.2-1.
I couldn't see anything in there suggesting that the removal of the
charmap symlink was intentional. Thanks.
