Package: ripit
Version: 3.8.0-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/ripit
Hi,
ripit fails to normalise relative directories for -o, and instead tries to
create them in the root dir (which of course fails for non-root users).
$ cd /tmp
$ LC_ALL=C ripit -o . --nointeraction
RipIT version 3.8.0.
Lame not found (needed to encode mp3)!
Use oggenc instead (to generate ogg)?
Do you want to try oggenc? [y/n] (y)
Will create a playlist file.
Checking for a DB entry @ freedb.freedb.org...

The titles are nonsense due to an encoding messup, but that's entirely
irrelevant. The issue is that it tries to mkdir /./blah instead of /tmp/blah
Cheers,

Plese tell me what the difference is between:
$ cd /tmp && ls -al .
and
$ cd /tmp && ls -al $PWD
?

We can ask upstream to think about that

Two within 1 year isn't that much to manage ;-)
