Description of problem: Alpine pine.conf file is hidden somewhere; it should be either /etc/pine.conf or /usr/local/etc/pine.conf. It is neither and there is no way to find out where the file is that it is actually using. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.00 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Alpine 1.00 uses a default pine.conf that is empty. But where it lies (the one that it uses), is one of life's greatest mysteries. :-) 2. 3. Actual results: Default pine.conf leaves configurations blank, so I can't print, point at nntp server, etc. Expected results: I should be able to do this. Additional info: Where, or where has my pine.conf gone, oh where, oh where can it be?
Aha! Figured it out. Duh...when I type pine -conf, it says it is in /usr/lib. But when I go there, I don't see a file. But when I soft-link pine.conf in my /usr/local/etc file to /usr/lib, bingo! All is well. So we either need: 1. A default pine.conf in /usr/lib, or 2. We need to point pine to look in /usr/local/etc, or /etc for it.
/etc/pine.conf should work (it does for me, last time I tried). I'll go confirm using this build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=28862 /etc/pine.conf seems to work, but /etc/pine.conf.fixed doesn't. I'll keep digging.
confirmed, fix coming right up.

Yes, but I had a pine.conf in my /etc directory, and it still didn't pick it up. Oh well. OK, downloaded and installed it. Yep, fixed. +1 to updates and I'll close this ticket.
