Package: gtktrain
Version: 0.9b-13
Severity: normal
gtktrain describes itself as a generic app to query train schedules
Since the name is very generic, and the description of the package promises a
"gtk+ interface", it is the typical app that any unexperienced user searching
for a GUI to browse train schedules will install. But then,
1) first time it is run, the gtk+ interface doesn't start at all, because file
.train/train.ini must be created first
2) then, it complains it "can't open TrainPath!" (and notice that a user
starting gtktrain from the menu won't see at all this message and the one about
missing config file)
3) then you discover it doesn't have a man page (for command gtktrain)
4) finally, only if one reads the README.Debian he'll discover that the program
only works for Japanese trains (the only ones releasing the schedules database)
What must be done, respectively:
1) automatically create the config file at first run
2) replace the message with something more explicative (of what should be done
to open a TrainPath), and show it in window
3) create a man page (eventually just putting in information from
README.Debian, which is not Debian-specific at all)
, but most importantly:
4) mention in the package extended description the fact that one can
(currently) only browse Japanese time schedules

P.S: yes, I know, they are 4 bugs. If you are picky, I can post them separately.
