Package: feh Version: 3.9.1-2 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
feh prints some warnings to stderr if inotify_init() fails: feh WARNING: inotify_init failed: Too many open files feh WARNING: Disabling inotify-based auto-reload I reported a related crash here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034121 But I consider the warnings to be problematic too. A program shouldn't print a warning relating to an optional feature that I did not specifically enable, based on a function that must be expected to "randomly" fail (due to its reliance on an extremely limited resource shared with unrelated programs: by default, each user has a limit of 128 inotify instances). It is also unclear from the text whether auto-reloading was disabled, or remains operational via some non-inotify fallback. The program's manual page is similarly ambiguous. I don't see any fallback in the code. - Michael -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-7-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages feh depends on: ii libc6 2.36-8 ii libcurl4 7.88.1-8 ii libexif12 0.6.24-1+b1 ii libimlib2 1.10.0-4+b1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.39-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.8.4-2 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-3 ii yudit-common 3.1.0-1 Versions of packages feh recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 1:9e-1 feh suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
