Another option would be to split "timeconfig" out of the package, and making r-c-date depend on say pygtk2. I've changed it to just call 'timeconfig' if the GUI can't be started up. Should be fixed in redhat-config-users-1.5.22-1. Thanks for your report. |
Description of problem: redhat-config-date is an X11 application, but the package itself doesn't depend on X11, mostly because it also includes "timeconfig" which is an ncurses app. This can confuse uses trying to use redhat-config-date w/out X11 installed, especially since it seems that redhat-config-date doesn't have a "--help" option. To counter this, can't redhat-config-time call "timeconfig" if ${DISPLAY} isn't set? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install redhat-config-date, w/out X11 installed 2. Try to run redhat-config-date, get error about no X 3. Try to run redhat-config-date --help, still get error message. Actual Results: Error messages about no X Expected Results: Fall back to timeconfig. Additional info:
