The full diff is as follows. I have tested and this surely fixes Debian Bug 945602. Please let me know if that works for you. I can help to initiate the pu process and make upload onto p-u-new queue if everything is okay.

Bug#945602: wrong path for constants.xml/presets.xml prevent the program from starting
Thqnk you, is there any chance for this fix to land in Debian stable? Or do we have to wait for the next release (i believe it will be available in stable due to the high severity) Thanks again Le jeu. 28 nov. 2019 à 09:52, Gürkan Myczko a écrit : > > Hi, > > I can confirm this is really broken, however it was working for me for > whatever reason, > or how else did I create the > https://screenshots.debian.net/package/qwinff screenshot? > > Anyways, a fixed version is on it's way: > http://phd-sid.ethz.ch/debian/qwinff/ > > Best,

Hi, I can confirm this is really broken, however it was working for me for whatever reason, or how else did I create the https://screenshots.debian.net/package/qwinff screenshot? Anyways, a fixed version is on it's way: http://phd-sid.ethz.ch/debian/qwinff/ Best,
Bug#945602: wrong path for constants.xml/presets.xml prevent the program from starting
Package: qwinff Version: 0.2.1-1 Severity: grave Steps to reproduce the problem: - run qwinff from the desktop launcher of from a terminal emulator What happens: - An error dialog is shown with the message "Cannot load /home/user/constants.xml. The program will exit now." - In addition, when qwinff is launched from a terminal, there is the error "Failed to read file: "/home/user/constants.xml" - Clicking the "Ok" button closes the error message, but the program is in fact still running (appears in ps aux output/task managers). When run from a terminal it does not give back STDIN unless I stop/kill/Ctrl+C it Workaround: - a quick search reveals a file /usr/share/qwinff/constants.xml. Copying this file to /home/user/constants.xml makes the error message disappear. A second message is shown about missing presets.xml, the same workaround can be applied (it's also in /usr/share/qwinff/) Suggested fix: I don't know. The makefile (https://github.com/qwinff/qwinff/blob/master/Makefile#L65) explicitely says to install these files in $(DATA_PATH) so I assume this path was incorrectly set when the package was built. Rebuild and test this time :) Severity grave because the program does not work at all by default unless you find the workaround. Thank you in advance
