Mandraker,

mandraker@inventati.org 写道：

$ xbindkeys_show

/home/eric/.guix-profile/bin/xbindkeys_show: line 3: exec: wish: not

found

Thanks.

This was due to ...unconventional shebang usage upstream:

#!/bin/sh # \

 exec wish "$0" "$@"

I don't pretend to comprehend why. I don't see any polyglottal cleverness going on below it.

Our built-in ‘patch-shebang’ has no problem patching first one (creating a bogus dependency on bash, now gone) but can't see the obfuscated wish one.

Fixed[0] by turning it into a proper shebang first.

Please test and report your results; it complains about a missing configuration file here.

xbindkeys_show use the package Tk that is not declared

They do declare it, kind of, in xbindkeys.spec and ./configure etc. And (incidentally) halfway down the ChangeLog file. Hardly obvious, indeed.

Kind regards,

T G-R
