Debian bug report logs - #1781 mh looks in the wrong place for 'more' Package: mh ; Reported by: Bdale Garbee . ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message received at debian-bugs: From chunks.gag.com!bdale Sun Oct 29 23:55:55 1995 Return-Path: Received: from pixar.com by mongo.pixar.com with smtp (Smail3.1.28.1 #15) id m0t9p4U-000DCrC; Sun, 29 Oct 95 23:55 PST Received: from chunks.gag.com by pixar.com with SMTP id AA26862 (5.67b/IDA-1.5 for debian-bugs-pipe@mongo.pixar.com); Sun, 29 Oct 1995 23:55:26 -0800 Received: from chunks.gag.com (bdale@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by chunks.gag.com (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id AAA00771; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 00:54:15 -0700 Message-Id: <199510300754.AAA00771@chunks.gag.com> To: debian-bugs@pixar.com Cc: geddes@col.hp.com, conner@empire.com Subject: mh looks in the wrong place for 'more' Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 00:54:14 -0700 From: Bdale Garbee Package: mh Version: 6.8.3-2 The 0.93R6 MH mail user interface package causes it to be impossible to read any mail, since the default moreproc is '/usr/bin/more', and the current Debian release appears to put more in '/bin/more' instead. You end up with errors like: bdale@chunks:~: show (Message inbox:386) show: unable to exec /usr/bin/more: No such file or directory bdale@chunks:~: The fix is probably to change the file conf/MH in the source tree, whacking the line options SYS5 MORE='"/usr/bin/more"' RENAME SYS5DIR UNISTD SVR4 MIME to point to the right location for more. It is possible to work around this defect by specifying an explicit path for more in the user's .mh_profile: moreproc: /bin/more But this shouldn't be necessary.
