Actually, I think, upstream maintainer's hat on, that looking for the system wide database within /var/lib/ is not that straight forward if it has to be done upstream. It depends on how package maintainers did name the package and thus the directory within /var/lib. The upstream software name is "MPD_sima" which is renamed "mpd-sima" in debian. Then I believe, as package maintainer now, it is probably better to duplicate simadb_cli wrapper used in debian package. We'll have one system wide wrapper looking for /var/lib/mpd-sima/sima.db and the second looking in the regular user directory: "${XDG_DATA_HOME}/mpd_sima/sima.db" I guess I would set "simadb_cli_sw" to look for system wide database and leave "simadb_cli" as is. In the mean time you can use a shell alias: alias simadb_cli="simadb_cli --dbfile=/var/lib/mpd-sima/sima.db" Thanks for your report Nicolas Cheers, Geoff _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
