Package: fim Version: 0.5~rc1-1 Severity: normal i get this trying to use aalib to render images:
$ fim -o aa -R . --sort Unrecognized display device string "aa" (valid choices are [fb|sdl|aa|dumb|imlib2])! Using the default "dumb" display device instead. "valid choices are ... aa"?? is aalib support compiled out? I see the README.Debian says I can compile some of those extensions (e.g. SDL (X)) those in - but why should I need to do that? Why aren't they compiled in by default? I understand why SDL (X) would not, but aalib has its specific uses. For example I'd love to have an image viewer through SSH terminals... Obviously, it works on the framebuffer, which is pretty freaking awesome already, so thanks for that. :) A. PS: i'm thinking of uploading a backport for jessie once this hits stretch, objections? would you like to do it yourself? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages fim depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u2 ii libdjvulibre21 3.5.25.4-4+b1 ii libexif12 0.6.21-2 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libgif4 4.1.6-11+deb8u1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.3.1-12 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libpng12-0 1.2.50-2+deb8u2 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b3 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-10+b1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libtiff5 4.0.3-12.3+deb8u1 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 fim recommends no packages. fim suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
