  -v, --version                 Get package version
  -f, --file                    In interpreter mode, use file as
                                input stream instead of stdin

Look at this bug report -- this is a packaging issue on debian... You can easily solve this manually by copying utils/adesklets_frontend.sh into autoconf's $pkgdatadir, which would be /usr/share/adesklets here (create the directory as needed). Better yet, you can reactivate the bug by leaving a new comment on the already submitted bug report, so it gets resolved upstream.

Thanks for notifying me -- I will mention it to Bartosz Fenski myself. Yours,

It is not exactly the same file: utils/adesklets_frontend.sh is generated out of utils/adesklets_frontend.sh.in by the autoconf machinery -- on debian, you can generate the frontend by running:

Code:


./configure --prefix=/usr

From the base directory of your freshly extracted adesklets-0.4.12.tar.bz2 (do not forget to set the permissions right too: the final file on disk should be executable). Yours,
