Package: timidity
Version: 2.13.2-7
Severity: normal


Caveat: I never switched from 'timidity-patches', which is partly why
'timidity' doesn't work on my system -- some upgrade conflicted with the
old patches, and I haven't gotten around to fixing it.  So I expect to
see error messages.

Running 'timidity' gives this error:

    % timidity -ia ; echo $?
    /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg: No such file or directory
    timidity: Can't read any configuration file.
    Please check /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg
    1

...yet there is a config file:

    % ls -l /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root 1156 Sep 11 19:16 /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg

It seems the error's usage of "any" doesn't allude to
'/etc/timidity/timidity.cfg'.  Quite confusing.

It would be better if the adjective "any" were changed --  to what
exactly I don't know, but would suppose that if 'timidity' couldn't find
a distinct and particular file, it could say something like:

    timidity: Can't read _patches_ configuration file.

...or, one of these depending on what's missing:

    timidity: Can't read configuration file '/etc/timidity/foo.cfg'.
    timidity: Can't read framistat configuration file.
    timidity: Can't read doohickey configuration file.

...and so forth.


Hope this helps...
