Package: wims
Version: 3.55-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
dpkg fails to configure wims 3.55-7 on my system, with the postinst's
font-generation step hitting a series of problems. The first problem
I ran into was that $tex2gif would silently exit with status 1; I
eventually figured out that this was because wims's shell was set to
/bin/false, presumably as a relic of the old version I previously had
installed. I would advise using su's -s flag rather than expecting
wims to have a valid shell:
tex2gif="su wims -s /bin/sh -c $HTML_DIR/bin/tex..gif"
^^^^^^^^^^
Having solved that, however, I ran into a checksum mismatch:
} Setting up wims (3.55-7) ...
} Rendering fonts, sizes 63 to 173: 639A2C2221 != 00000073
} /var/lib/wims/public_html/bin/tex..gif: Font checksum discord.
