Description Kurt Seifried 2012-01-09 22:17:57 UTC

Description of problem:

jwhois (whois tool) has a missing dependecy on lynx (command line web browser)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

jwhois-4.0-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

$ whois paas.io
[Querying http://www.io.io/cgi-bin/whois]
[HTTP: Unable to run web browser: /usr/bin/lynx: No such file or directory]

Actual results:

reports lynx is missing

Expected results:

it uses lynx to do the web page retrieval

Additional info:

jwhois.texi/jwhois.conf specifies the "browser-pathname" as "/usr/bin/lynx", this is then used in src/http.c, so chances are lynx can be replaced with elinks without to much trouble.
