Package: slib Version: 3a1-4.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I had problems when trying to use SLIB for the first time: guile> (use-modules (ice-9 slib)) guile> (require 'priority-queue) ERROR: In procedure open-file: ERROR: Permission denied: "/usr/share/slibcat" ABORT: (system-error) The package was completely unusable, as the library functions weren't being loaded. I checked in /usr/share/, and found that /usr/share/slibcat did not exist, and permissions (0755) ensured that only root would be able to create this file. Upon reading the documentation, I found that SLIB attempts to create slibcat if it does not exist. Since the catalogue must be created by root, and must be created before the SLIB is usable, it should be created at install-time, so that the package will be immediately usable without an admin having to run (require 'new-catalogue) or whatever. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.29 Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
