Public bug reported:
The john program doesn't works any more.
It outputs "fopen: john.ini: No such file or directory".
How to test:
* install john package
* execute john
Expected output is help text
instead we get "fopen: john.ini: No such file or directory"
john worked perfectly in versions of Ubuntu before 12.10,
I found this problem in an upgraded system, so I tried to reinstall it.
The john package was also installed for the first time in another machine (the
machine that executed ubuntu-bug).
Nothing of the above solves the problem.
If I copy /etc/john/john.conf to the local directory where I try to
execute john this stops complaining about the file john.ini but it has
problems finding other files.
It seems that the executable john doesn't use /etc/john/john.conf as its
configuration file, doesn't find temporal files in ~/.john/ and
installed files in /usr/share/john. It only looks for files in the
current working directory.
