Package: cthumb
Version: 4.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

s version relied on a variable datadit which is never set. On start you get the error:

Global symbol "$datarootdir" requires explicit package name (did you forget to declare "my $datarootdir"?) at /bin/cthumb line 90.

In the script I had to replace $datarootdir/images at line 90 with /usr/share to get it working again.
