Public bug reported: the python-demjson package binary is named "jsonlint"
For some unimaginable reason,in the 15.04 release, it appears to have been broken and renamed jsonlint-py. The man page still names it jsonlint. The underlying pip package is named demjson and still installs itself as jsonlint. Please fix. You should not be installing a pip package under an incompatible name - one that's incompatible with both the old name, and with the pip package it's based one. $ whereis jsonlint jsonlint: /usr/share/man/man1/jsonlint.1.gz alanr@system76:~/monitor/src/cma$ whereis jsonlint-py jsonlint-py: /usr/bin/jsonlint-py /usr/share/man/man1/jsonlint-py.1.gz If you read either man page, the command is named "jsonlint". So that's three to one for it being broken: - previous releases called it jsonlint - the man pages call it jsonlint - the underlying pip package calls it jsonlint ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: python-demjson 2.2.4-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Apr 25 14:16:13 2016 PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: python-demjson UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-04-24 (0 days ago) ** Affects: python-demjson (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574848 Title: jsonlint command misnamed as jsonlint-py To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-demjson/+bug/1574848/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
