Bug Description

Binary package hint: xt

I've installed xt on gutsy tribe 4, the problem is that when launching it, it tries to use /usr/bin/traceroute but under gutsy, traceroute is in /usr/bin/traceroute...

Making a symbolic link solve the problem, but I should be fixed in the package, either by configuring the program to look in /usr/bin or by making that symbolink link, but it is not the best solution...

I think this bug is not fixed, I can repeat it:

$ xtraceroute -h
Xtraceroute version 0.9.1

Usage: xtraceroute [--texture <(day) texture file>]
                   [--ntexture <night texture file>]
                   [--night | --nonight]
                   [--lod <level-of-detail>]
                   [--stdin | - | <site> ]
                   [--version]
                   [--help]
