Description Tom Noonan 2004-09-06 12:12:08 UTC
bash-2.05b$ msetimon 
bad option "anchor": must be -after, -anchor, -before, -expand, -fill, -in, -ipadx, -ipady, -padx, -pady, or -side at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux/Tk/Widget.pm line 1144.
 at /usr/bin/msetimon line 3921

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempted reemergeing perl ans msetimon, no luck
2. Completed an emerge -e world (For other reasons) no effect
3.

Actual Results:  
Same anchor error

Expected Results:  
Opened the msetimon display

Perl version 5.8.4
Msetimon version 2.0.7

Looks like a typo somewhere to me, if I knew more about GUI and perl programming
I'd try to fix it myself.
Comment 1 Tom Noonan 2004-09-06 18:33:30 UTC
Altered line 3921 by changing anchor and expand to -anchor and -expand:

$f = $main->Frame(-borderwidth => 1, -width => 0, -background => 
		"$bgcol")-> pack(-side => 'top', -anchor => 'n', -expand => 0, 
		-fill => 'both') ;

Solved problem.
Comment 2 Tom Noonan 2004-09-07 00:06:32 UTC
Was thinking about it, and the bug is fixed only on my system, which isn't a very good resolution.  Changed status to minor, as the workaround in /usr/bin/msetimon is trivial.
Comment 3 Markus Nigbur (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-04 05:38:13 UTC
The fix would have made it, but the newest avail version already has it.

I've put 2.78 into portage now.
