http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=980412 Bug ID: 980412 Summary: pin package search needs updates to be useful (for Tumbleweed) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: bjoernv@arcor.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- The package search tool "pin" needs some updates. 1) The following error message looks bad with the double quotes ("), if the ARCHIVES file is missing. Run as normal user: $ pin KF5 *** pin found no ARCHIVES_"20160514".gz file in /var/lib/pin/ 2) The setup message does not fit well for Tumbleweed: Run as root: $ pin KF5 no file ARCHIVES_20160514.gz found please insert CD1/DVD in your CD-ROM/DVD drive / bitte CD1/DVD einlegen please eject all medias from other drives / bitte entfernen Sie andere Medien aus den Laufwerken. press enter to continue - Bitte enter druecken please wait / bitte warten no SUSE CD/DVD found, please copy ARCHIVES.gz manually to /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_20160514.gz and execute "ln -s /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_20160514.gz /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz" keine SUSE CD/DVD gefunden, bitte ARCHIVES.gz manuell nach /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_20160514.gz kopieren und "ln -s /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_20160514.gz /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz" aufrufen The necessary ARCHIVES.gz file may change every day (test: downloaded the version for 20160512 (/var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_20160512.gz), but two days later "pin" wants version 20160514). Probably only a few people will download the DVD ISO file so often. Downloading the ARCHIVES.gz alone without the DVD ISO it not possible, because this file is not directly downloadable in Tumbleweed downloads. 3) The language mix Even with "export LC_ALL=C" "pin" shows some German. The German texts are hard.coded in "pin". E.g. here: from /usr/bin/pin if [ "$USED_DEVICE" = "" ] ; then cat <<__EOF__ no SUSE CD/DVD found, please copy ARCHIVES.gz manually to /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_$USED_VERSION.gz and execute "ln -s /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_$USED_VERSION.gz /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz" keine SUSE CD/DVD gefunden, bitte ARCHIVES.gz manuell nach /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_$USED_VERSION.gz kopieren und "ln -s /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_$USED_VERSION.gz /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz" aufrufen __EOF__ 4) SUSE and openSUSE The messages mention "SUSE", also on openSUSE, e.g. here: from /usr/bin/pin if [ "$USED_DEVICE" = "" ] ; then cat <<__EOF__ no SUSE CD/DVD found, please copy ARCHIVES.gz manually to /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_$USED_VERSION.gz and execute "ln -s /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES_$USED_VERSION.gz /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
