[solved] feh update (1.4.2-1) needs user-interaction in ~/.fehrc

Hey,

todays feh update gives some problems if the user tries to use fehs menu.
It seems feh thinks to be installed in /usr/local/share and is looking for it's menu-styles and fonts in /usr/local/share/feh/... .

feh WARNING: /usr/local/share/feh/images/menubg_default.png - File does not exist

Instead it is installed in /usr/share like the versions before, which work fine there.

The user needs to edit the ~/.fehrc at least to adjust the --fontpath to get fehs menu.

Re: [solved] feh update (1.4.2-1) needs user-interaction in ~/.fehrc

This is the warning I received as feh crashed when I tried to open a menu:

$ feh pictures
giblib warning: couldn't load font yudit/10, attempting to fall back to fixed.
giblib warning: failed to even load fixed! Attempting to find any font.
feh ERROR: couldn't load menu font yudit/10, did you make install?
Are you specifying a nonexistant font?
Did you tell feh where to find it with --fontpath?

I fixed it by adding the following line to ~/.fehrc.  The option '-C' is the short form of the option '--fontpath'.

feh -C /usr/share/feh/fonts/

See 'man feh' if you want more information.
