Bug#892296: gridengine-qmon: qmon fails to start, as it cannot load pixmaps
Package: gridengine-qmon
Version: 8.1.9+dfsg-4
Severity: important
Dear Debian HPC Team,
I think I found a bug in the gridengine-qmon Debian package.
The qmon program fails to start:
$ qmon
Warning: Cannot convert string "intro" to type Pixmap
Can't load icon 21cal. Pixmaps should reside in $SGE_ROOT/qmon/PIXMAPS.
Apparently, the Debian package installs the pixmaps in
/usr/share/gridengine/pixmaps
but the qmon Debian-packaged program incorrectly looks for them in
/var/lib/gridengine/qmon/PIXMAPS
The (root) user can work around the bug with the following commands:
# mkdir /var/lib/gridengine/qmon
# ln -s /usr/share/gridengine/pixmaps /var/lib/gridengine/qmon/PIXMAPS
However, I believe that the Debian package should patch the qmon
program so that it looks for the resources in the directory where
the Debian package itself installs them.
Please fix this packaging bug.
Thanks for your time!
Bye.
