- Subject: tex-common: explain default handling of /var/cache/fonts group
- From: Ross Boylan <ross@biostat.ucsf.edu>
- Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:27:06 -0800
- Message-id: <20060330182706.28302.31300.reportbug@iron.psg.net>
Package: tex-common
Version: 0.20
Severity: wishlist
On the latest upgrade I was asked how to handle permissions in
/var/cache/fonts. The message includes
"If you accept, you can specify a group name" and "If you accept, font
generation will only work for users that have been added to the group
you chose".
This gave me the impression that I was going to be asked for the name
of a group, but I wasn't.
It would be helpful to reword the message and output the name of the
default group. After the fact it was easy to see what group the
directory belonged to, but I found the dialogue a bit misleading.
Maybe the group name is only asked at low-priority? If so, it might
be useful to have different messages for different priorities, but I
suspect debconf doesn't do that.
