Package: rinse
Version: 4.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when trying essntially an examp,e, rinse fials wioth a message like this:
The package list for the distribution rocky-8 was not found.
We expected to find:
/usr/sbin/../etc/rocky-8.packages
Aborting.
I think the default path should be /etc/rinse, not /usr/sbin/../etc/, for
two reasons: the files are obviously stored in /etc/rinse, and debian
policy does not allow config files in /usr/etc (not would it allow assuming
/usr/../etc is trhe same as /etc(.
Ther problem is also not just limited to --distribution, as speciyfing
something like ../../../../etc/rinse/rocky-8 to work aorund the first
issue causes another, simiar problem when reeading rinse.conf:
The configuration file /usr/sbin/../etc/rinse.conf was not found.
Aborting.
Note also that the manpage wrongly says the default confgig file is
/etc/rinse/rinse.conf, but it is not, as specfying that path directly via
--config makes rinse find it, apparently.
I haven't foiund away to invoke rinse so far, though, even with tricks, so
it seems to be seriouslöy hosed atm.-
