When the new "spam and virus wizard" of KMail (cvs) tries to search for f-prot,
it fails because we only have f-prot.sh.

Sure KMail can search for that file f-prot.sh, but I think it's our fault
(gentoo), because most programs calls itself "program" and not "program.sh".

Perhaps we must patch it in order to have f-prot.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
KMail cannot find "f-prot" because we use f-prot.sh 

Expected Results:  
KMail (and perhaps other utilities) finding that executable file f-prot.

this should be assigned to the maintainer of the f-prot package

I opened a bug for this at bugs.kde.org:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87591

They told me to inform the ebuild maintainer. A symlink in /usr/bin/ or adding /opt/f-prot to the path should fix it.

The symlink thing doesn't work. And why adding /opt/f-prot to the path?
Just rename /usr/bin/f-prot.sh to /usr/bin/f-prot and everything is fine.

I don't know anything that says that file names of shell scripts have to end with .sh. And if the binary f-prot and the shell script f-prot are in different directories nothing goes wrong.

Assigning to the current f-prot-maintainer.

I added a symlink /usr/bin/f-prot -> /usr/bin/f-prot.sh. Reopen if KMail still
doesn't work as expected.
