[Bug 523264] Re: [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix
Note - it sounds like the dos2unix package may be preferable for those wanting a more general-purpose conversion tool, and the command names that are missing from tofrodos. That is according to the tofrodos package documentation (as noted in #2). Here is the relevant text from /usr/share/doc/tofrodos/NEWS.Debian.gz, as of 12.04: With this release the symlinks "unix2dos" and "dos2unix" are dropped from the package. This will allow the introduction of the original dos2unix package, which also supports conversion to MacOS style files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523264 Title: [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/command-not-found/+bug/523264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How about a backport? Lucid is a LTS, so you'd expect these kind of fixes to appear when they are fixed in later releases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523264 Title: [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/command-not-found/+bug/523264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 523264] Re: [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix
Actually, the REAL problem here is that fundamental, documented behavior has been changed in an LTS release. The is a symptom of a larger problem: established norms randomly changing with every new release, completely breaking backwards compatibility. Where in the world did the "fromdos" and "todos" commands come from? It's like the ubuntu devs changing the "ls" command to "listdir" from one release to another. You can only imagine the uproar that would create as scripts break, people riot, cities burn down. Someone shouldn't HAVE to create symlinks from "dos2unix" to "fromdos", or from "unix2dos" to "todos" upon installing a new version of Ubuntu. It should not have changed. What is the point or incentive of learning to use Ubuntu if half the things you know change drastically every six months? If the Ubuntu team decides the the "tofrodos" utilities are inadequate, then create another package.

[Bug 523264] Re: [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix
Bruno, This bug is a misnomer. Ubuntu decided to replace the tofromdos modules with their own utilities as standard with the Lucid version. The issue is that the former links of dos2unix and unix2dos are not set properly but it is hard to determine this during the install; the Lucid version is missing the soft links to these utilities... So, the user needs either to create a soft link or alias to /usr/bin/fromdos and /usr/bin/todos... If you at my post (#6), I show how this easily can be done... I hope this helps you... Good luck... By the way, it did take me some time to actually understand the bug as well; you are in good company... -- [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The title of this bug doesn't make sense to me.

[Bug 523264] Re: [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix
The easier way around this problem is to make a soft link to todos and fromdos. If you have sudo administrative rights, you can make the soft link in the same directory as follows... sudo ln -s fromdos dos2unix sudo ln -s todos unix2dos Or if do not have sudo privileges, you can make the soft link from a directory that you have access to... I prefer this method over creating an alias since the alias should be in a file that needs to be read during system initialise (or by typing source ) . If done local, alias will work in the present window that it has been set; a soft link will work directly after creation. I have made both soft links and I have already run dos2unix successfully I hope this helps... -- [lucid] dos2unix is not in tofrodos but dos2unix https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/523264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The quick workaround now is to create a link to the new package files.
