Package: catdoc Version: 0.94.2-1 Severity: wishlist
xlsview is hardcoded to use netscape. If netscape is not installed, it just quietly loses. There are all sorts of things it could use (x-www-browser, check an envirnment variable, search for N browsers known to work, like netscape, mozilla, and firefox) but the way it works is pretty disfunctional. At the very least, the man page should say that netscape is required, so you don't have to read the source to find out why "xlsview foo.xls" does nothing. I suspect it's a policy violation to depend on the existance of a particular browser, too, but I'm not sure, so I'm just making this a wishlist. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages catdoc depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries catdoc recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
