Bug#1001806: libsingular reports wrong location of singular.info

[Tobias Hansen]

Package: singular
Version: 1:4.2.1-p2+ds-5
Severity: normal

Hi Jerome,

I noticed some sagemath doctests are failing because sagemath cannot find singular.info. It uses the libsingular function feGetResource() to determine the location of the file. You can see in resources/feResource.cc that it is expected to be at /usr/bin/share/singular/singular.info, however it is installed to /usr/share/doc/singular/singular.info. Could you please update feResource() to give the right location? It should be enough to set SINGULAR_INFO_FILE, SINGULAR_IDX_FILE etc in debian/rules.

Best,
Tobias
