>Description:
The units program cannot convert from (or to) guilders because there
is a typo in /usr/share/misc/units.lib. Currently the file contains
these lines:
netherlandguilder .52 $
guilder netherlandsguilder
hollandguilder netherlandsguilder
Since netherlandsguilder (notice the 's') is not defined, the units
program is unable to convert guilders.
>How-To-Repeat:
bash-2.04$ units
503 units, 41 prefixes
You have: guilders
unknown unit 'netherlandsguilder'
You have: dollars
You want: guilders
unknown unit 'netherlandsguilder'
You want: ^C
>Fix:
Just add the 's' in "netherlandguilder". So the line in units.lib
should read:
netherlandsguilder .52 $
