Package: swi-prolog-nox
Version: 5.10.1-1
Severity: minor
swi-prolog installs a symlink from /usr/bin/prolog to /usr/bin/swipl
using the Debian alternatives mechanism. However, it behaves
differently depending on whether it is invoked as "prolog" or "swipl".
For example, if swi-prolog-x is installed, "swipl -g emacs" starts SWI
Prolog's emacs-like editor, but "prolog -g emacs" gives an error.
The reason for this is that the swipl binary uses the name it is
invoked with to locate its start-up file (see the description of the
-F option in swipl(1)). Specifically, if invoked as "prolog", it looks
for a start-up file under /usr/lib/swi-prolog/prolog.rc and various
related names, none of which exist. This can be observed by running
"strace prolog -g halt". If invoked as "swipl", it successfully loads
/usr/lib/swi-prolog/swipl.rc
Suggested fixes, all untested:
* create a shell script wrapper that runs swipl and point the
/usr/bin/prolog symlink at that.
* create a symlink /usr/lib/swi-prolog/prolog.rc pointing to
/usr/lib/swi-prolog/swipl.rc
The binary /usr/bin/xpce in the swi-prolog-x package, which is also a
symlink to the swipl binary, seems to be affected by similar problems:
It tries to load /usr/lib/swi-prolog/xpce.rc, which doesn't exist
(though /usr/lib/swi-prolog/xpce-6.6.66/pl/xpce.rc does).

Description:
swi-prolog - ISO/Edinburgh-style Prolog interpreter
swi-prolog-java - Bidirectional interface between SWI-Prolog and Java
swi-prolog-nox - ISO/Edinburgh-style Prolog interpreter (without X support)
swi-prolog-odbc - ODBC library for SWI-Prolog

Closes: 640242 643641
Changes:
swi-prolog (6.2.2-5) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Install plunit in swi-prolog-nox
* Install pldoc in swi-prolog-nox (closes: #643641)
* Add symlink /usr/lib/swi-prolog/prolog.rc pointing to
/usr/lib/swi-prolog/swipl.rc and /usr/lib/swi-prolog/xpce.rc
pointing to /usr/lib/swi-prolog/xpce/pl/xpce.rc. This should fix
running the prolog executable with different names (closes: #640242)
* Do not use chrpath during build and do not build-depend on it, this is
not required anymore
* Use dh_lintian to install lintian overrides
* Replace segstack-alignment.diff with patch from upstream
* Re-add xpce manpages to swi-prolog-x
* Build-depend on libarchive-dev and install package 'archive' into
swi-prolog-nox
* Remove references to various swi-prolog-* packages that don't longer exist
in Debian and to swiprolog binary
