>Description:
Poking around for useful SMB tools after installing samba, I
tried to run /usr/pkg/bin/findsmb, only to discover that it is a
script that starts with "#!/usr/bin/perl". Since perl is installed in
/usr/pkg/bin/perl, the script doesn't work.
Here is the set of offenders I found by grepping for /usr/bin/perl in
/usr/pkg/*bin:
audio/nas-1.6nb1: /usr/pkg/bin/auscope
audio/kdemultimedia-3.1: /usr/pkg/bin/workman2cddb.pl
editors/emacs-21.3nb1: /usr/pkg/bin/emacs-grep-changelog
graphics/libungif-4.1.0.1: /usr/pkg/bin/gifburst
net/kdenetwork-3.1: /usr/pkg/bin/dsirc
net/samba-2.2.8a: /usr/pkg/bin/findsmb
print/ghostscript-6.01nb4: /usr/pkg/bin/fixmswrd.pl
x11/kdebase-3.1: /usr/pkg/bin/filesharelist
/usr/pkg/bin/fileshareset
x11/kdelibs-3.1: /usr/pkg/bin/preparetips
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to run one of the above scripts; debug the usual annoying "Command
not found" interpreter-missing error.
>Fix:
None supplied.
