Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: global

`/usr/bin/btreeop' has been removed from the upstream (source) package
since 2002 (see changelog of global's .tar.gz archive); however the .deb
package's `htconfig' script, which creates `/usr/lib/cgi-
bin/gsearch.cgi' during the postinst package action has not been updated
to reflect this (htconfig man page dates from 1999).

Thus, `/usr/lib/cgi-bin/gsearch.cgi' fails to search for patterns
entered from the web form, filling apache2 logs with lines such as this
(...xxx... fields contain cleaned-up info):

-------------------------------------------------
[...date...] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] sh: /usr/bin/btreeop: not found, 
referer: http://localhost/...my-project-url.../mains.html
-------------------------------------------------

To resolve the bug, the offending lines of code in the `gsearch.cgi'
script and `htconfig' script (that creates the former) must be changed
to use the new facilities provided from the upstream (source) package.

Ubuntu release: 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
`global' release: 5.7.1-1
