Package: xdg-user-dirs Version: 0.14-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
xdg-user-dirs-update tries to load the system-wide configuration files from /etc, rather than from /etc/xdg where they have been installed by the package: (wheezy-jhbuild)sascha.silbe@twin:~$ strace -f -s 256 xdg-user-dirs-update [...] stat("/home/sascha.silbe/.config/user-dirs.conf", 0x7fffb17b9f10) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/install/etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf", 0x7fffb17b9f10) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/etc/user-dirs.conf", 0x7fffb17b9f10) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/home/sascha.silbe/.config/user-dirs.defaults", 0x7fffb17b9cd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/install/etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults", 0x7fffb17b9cd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/etc/user-dirs.defaults", 0x7fffb17b9cd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, "No default user directories\n", 28) = 28 [...] (wheezy-jhbuild)sascha.silbe@twin:~$ ls -l /etc/xdg/user-dirs.* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 414 Jul 30 17:00 /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 418 Jul 30 17:00 /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults (wheezy-jhbuild)sascha.silbe@twin:~$ This renders xdg-user-dir unusable on systems without pre-existing user configuration files or manual intervention by the user (like setting up symlinks in /etc that point to the correct locations). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xdg-user-dirs depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 xdg-user-dirs recommends no packages. xdg-user-dirs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
