After some thought and consideration, I have decided not to try to fix this bug unless upstream does it, the reason being that flickcurl is more of a raw interface to the Flickr API as opposed to a utility, so this automation needn't be done with it, IMO.

Bug#461848: flickcurl-utils: should not be required to specify auth_token
Package: flickcurl-utils Version: 1.0-1 Severity: important -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 The flickcurl command line program requires a valid auth_token in ~/.flickcurl.conf (one that corresponds to the api_key and secret in ~/.flickcurl.conf). auth_token can be derived from the api_key and secret and should not be required. I am marking the Severity of this bug as important because it is not possible to use flickcurl without the auth_token and generating a valid auth_token with the api_key and secret is non-trivial (it is better done by the utility rather than the person using the utility). Pretty much every other flickr API toolkit (postr, flickrfs etc.) computes the auth_token given the api_key and secret.

However, I shall try to handle this next week. Thanks for the report.
