From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051118 Fedora/1.5-0.5.0.rc3 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: I ran the KDE kcontrol and updated my font settings. An error appeared on the console suggesting the /usr/bin/cpp was not found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-utils-0.99.2-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. xrdb or, 1. kcmshell fonts 2. Update some font setting 3. OK & exit Actual Results: No error on console Expected Results: sh: /usr/bin/cpp: No such file or directory Additional info: Default install of FC5test1 + kde, plus rawhide updates. Nots sure if this is really an x11 issue since xrdb already supports usage without cpp via -nocpp. Maybe this needs to be bounced to kdebase to get it to either add the dependency on cpp or use -nocpp if it isn't required. What do you think is the best solution?
Using -nocpp will only work on resource files that do not contain preprocessor markup. Using it on all files would break things. Since xrdb invokes cpp directly, the only proper fix is for it to have a hard dependency on cpp being installed. I've just updated xorg-x11-server-utils-0.99.2-6 in rawhide with a dependency on the "cpp" package. That should fix the problem.
