Bug 107376 – app-text/dictd - Missing /etc/colorit.conf file

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Eugene Pavlovsky 2005-09-27 04:04:59 UTC]

this is the same as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=263012
quote:
The dict package includes some dinky little utility called "colorit"
 which requires a configuration file to function at all.  However,
 the package fails to provide the system-wide default config file
 "/etc/colorit.conf".

(I'm posting this bug 'cause I discovered colorit by accident and
 unsuccessfully tried to see what it does.  I bet if colorit was
 removed from the package althogether, no one would notice.  But,
 if a package is going to install cruft, it might as well install
 cruft that works.  :)

debian just removed colorit from the dictd distribution.

Please, *always* include ebuild name in the bug summary.

This is about app-text/dictd.
Sorry for the ebuild name missing.

[Comment 3 Wulf Krueger (RETIRED) 2007-08-18 01:19:11 UTC]

Fixed in dictd-1.10.9.

[Comment 4 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2008-09-12 17:01:51 UTC]

I'll revert this change (as debian did too) and starting from dictd-1.10.11-r1 colorit will be installed together with configuration file...
