Package: barrier Version: 2.1.2+dfsg-1 Severity: normal The manpage says barriers reads it config from:
| If no configuration file pathname is provided then the first of the | following to load successfully sets the configuration: | $HOME/.local/share/barrier/barrier.conf /etc/barrier.conf Apart from the fact that this probably should be ~/.config/barrier.conf, the code does not match the documentation: | weasel@orinoco:~$ strace -f barriers -a 127.0.0.1 2>&1 | grep -i open [..] | openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 | openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/weasel/.local/share/barrier/.barrier.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) | openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/barrier.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) So it actually seems to try $HOME/.local/share/barrier/.barrier.conf (extra dot before barrier.conf).
