Bug Description

Binary package hint: dput

Running dput for the first time to place files on a local disk, dput gives me the following:

Uploading to local (via local to localhost):
Successfully uploaded packages.
Not running dinstall.
sh: /usr/bin/mini-dinstall: not found
Error while executing command.
Continuing..

Probably, dput should have a dependency on mini-dinstall.

I discovered that the reason for this behaviour is in the default /etc/dput.cf file, which has the following section:

[local]
method = local
incoming = ~/public_html/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming
run_dinstall = 0
post_upload_command = /usr/bin/mini-dinstall --batch

It fooled me, because I had made my own [local] section in ~/.dput.cf, and dput chose the standard one instead of mine.

So perhaps it's not a true dependency problem.

I think it makes sense to add a Suggests: mini-dinstall.
