[Dctrl-tools-devel] Bug#607359: grep-aptavail: doesn't read /etc/grep-dctrl.rc

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: dctrl-tools
Version: 2.17
Severity: important

grep-aptavail doesn't work at all:

$ grep-aptavail '' | wc -l
0

I think it's because it fails to read /etc/grep-dctrl.rc (and it tries 
to read /usr/local/etc/grep-dctrl.rc instead):

$ strace -e open grep-aptavail ''
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
open("/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDONLY)    = 3
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libnss_compat.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libnsl.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libnss_nis.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/lib/i686/cmov/libnss_files.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/home/jwilk/.grep-dctrlrc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/etc/grep-dctrl.rc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
