More information : It happens with the version in testing and unstable too. However, on systems where twinkle (the graphical client) has been installed and used already, twinkle-console seems to launch properly, even if there is no home/$USER/.twinkle/twinkle.cfg file. Here is what I have on a system where the graphical twinkle client has been used before twinkle-console : ls -l .twinkle/ total 216 -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 2472 avril 16 13:31 u...@domain.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 2515 avril 16 12:59 u...@domain.cfg~ -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 536 avril 16 16:06 gui_state.ini drwx------ 2 ac ac 4096 août 15 2019 tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 2359 avril 16 15:59 twinkle.ch -rw------- 1 ac ac 275 avril 16 14:58 twinkle.history -rw------- 1 ac ac 0 août 15 2019 twinkle.lck -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 116916 avril 16 16:06 twinkle.log -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 46128 avril 16 14:58 twinkle.log.old -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 1446 avril 16 16:06 twinkle.sys -rw-r--r-- 1 ac ac 1446 avril 16 14:58 twinkle.sys~ When I try to add something on the command line : $ twinkle-console --help Critical: Cannot open file for reading: /home/onalyrg/.twinkle/--help BTW twinkle-console has no manpage and no help either apparently. When I create the file : $ touch .twinkle/twinkle.cfg twinkle-console launches properly (with error messages because no account has been defined yet) Regards, --
