Description John Pelan 2005-08-10 02:17:13 UTC 
The MUA 'pine' has its configuration file pine.conf located in /usr/local/lib
rather than in /etc as common sense, the man page and the LSB would suggest.

% pine -v
Pine 4.61 built Sat Mar 19 23:15:54 UTC 2005 on mozart

% pine -conf | head -2
#      /usr/local/lib/pine.conf -- system wide pine configuration

% strace pine -conf
[snip]
open("/usr/local/lib/pine.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[snip]

% man pine
[snip]
       /etc/pine.conf              System-wide configuration file.
       /etc/pine.conf.fixed         Non-overridable configuration file.

This bug was first reported by me at the time of SuSE 9.0 but still persists in
SuSE 9.3 . It appears in the Debain bug list in 1996!

Fixed for RC1. This was not working at runtime, only at build time.
