Bug 186179 – app-text/libpaper-1.1.21 bad postinst message

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christophe PEREZ 2007-07-22 04:07:01 UTC]

IMHO, the message should not be :
LOG: postinst
run "paperconfig -p letter" to use letter-pagesizes

because the tool is paperconf and not paperconfig.

unique ~ # paperconfig --help

         --force                force paper configuration

Oh, sorry, I didn't try as root.
libpaper contain paperconf AND paperconfig, and paperconfig isn't in user path (/usr/sbin/).

[Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2007-07-22 07:01:48 UTC]

right, changed it a bit.

elog "run \"paperconfig -p letter\" as root to use letter-pagesizes"
elog "or paperconf with normal user privileges."

thanks
