Package: aumix
Version: 2.9-1
Severity: normal

I found the aumix man page on the -C option a bit unclear.  I read it as
something like

    aumix -C /tmp/myfile

with something or other in that file, but doing so gets

    aumix:  unable to open settings file


Nosing around InitColors() it looks like the first fopen() is on the
filename[] variable and that variable has not been initialized at that
point.  I wonder if it's meant to be the `scheme' parameter instead, to
allow a filename for that -C.

I see otherwise files under /usr/share/aumix are opened.  That could be
described in the aumix man page, so you know there's some supplied
colours, and can look there for something to copy to some preferred
colour scheme.

Mind you, if that first fopen() did what it looks like it was meant to,
then "-C ansi" would look first for a file called ansi in the current
directory, and then in /usr/share/aumix.  It could be very bad if there
was a random file called "ansi" in the current directory.  It could be
much better to have a separate option for a user filename versus a
supplied "ansi" etc scheme.  If -C never worked for user filenames then
there'd be no incompatibility.
