Lior Kaplan wrote:Hi Rolf, The various OO.org programs are just a cover script for /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice or other programs in that directory like ooqstart. I'm sure this example will clear things:Not really, I am afraid. The programs are not accessible to the user unless called with explicit path. Try "which pkgchk" and it will usually return nothing since /usr/lib/openoffice/program/ is not on the PATH for most people. I have to admit I don't understand what my report has to do with the "programs" being wrapper scripts or not.
Quoting the FHS at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLIBLIBRARIESFORPROGRAMMINGANDPA
"/usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. [22]
Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/lib. If an application uses a subdirectory, all architecture-dependent data exclusively used by the application must be placed within that subdirectory. [23]"
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/pkgchk which actaully says to use /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg instead are "internal binaries" which the normal user should *not* run by himself. He might have access to them though the GUI.
I hope this answer your question. Please let me know if you want more info. -- Lior Kaplan kaplan@debian.org GPG fingerprint: C644 D0B3 92F4 8FE4 4662 B541 1558 9445 99E8 1DA0
