Package: john
Version: 1.7.2-2
Severity: normal

On running john, after a number of passes (not sure how
many but it did print out some username/password pairs so
it has run some tests already), john dies with 

fopen: /etc/john/password.lst: No such file or directory

15:29:16$ dpkg -L john-data | grep password.lst
/usr/share/john/password.lst

This is due to the Debian patch "fix_paths.patch", 

-#define JOHN_SYSTEMWIDE_HOME           "/usr/share/john"
+#define JOHN_SYSTEMWIDE_HOME           "/etc/john"

I think /usr/share/john is probably the correct place for
the word lists, however.

It seems '$JOHN' is expanded to JOHN_SYSTEMWIDE_HOME at
runtime.
