Bug#1141491: apt-dater: broken interaction with a recent version of tmux

Show all headers | View raw

As I said, I'm not very faimliar with a C environment, I compiled (i.e., autoreconf+configure+make) 
the untouched (before your patch) apt-dater source (got from git@github.com:DE-IBH/apt-dater.git) 
and I get this error when refreshing the hosts:
  
                                                           ** (apt-dater:420774): WARNING **: 
15:41:58.476: Failed to execute child process “/usr/local/lib/apt-dater/cmd” (No such file or directory)
