-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Guiseppe,
I try to explain the problem as I understand it. faxsetup is normally used to create setup.cache. If something is wrong with HylaFAX after some changes to the system or after an upgrade of HylaFAX, the experts in the mailing list recommend to re-run faxsetup to fix the problem. It is bad if faxsetup does not work at all in some error situation needings manual modification of setup.cache. It would be better if faxsetup tried to correct this. Because I found AWK='/usr/bin/gawk' in my setup.cache I assumed faxsetup had written this configuration entry. Now something has changed in the system and faxsetup does not run anymore. With this assumption I thought it was a bug of faxsetup. After sending my first reply I looked into faxsetup and other scripts. I did not find any code that could write AWK='/usr/bin/gawk' into setup.cache. Then I remembered that some time and several versions ago there was a bug in an AWK script (in notify or faxrcvd). I think there was something wrong with the arguments of sub() or gsub(). One workaround for this bug was to use gawk. This bug has been resolved later by fixing the AWK script. Thats why I think I manually changed setup.cache. This manual modification can prevent faxsetup from running. So IMHO it is actually not a bug of faxsetup. If it does not work after some manual modification I can expect a user to manually correct a the modified file. But I think it would be an improvement of faxsetup if it could handle the error situation without needing manual modification. That's why my proposal is not a bug fix but a change request.
