invoking fslint should give a hint to fslint-gui or fslint should be a link to it

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

invoking `fslint` in `gnome-terminal` prints

    Der Befehl »fslint« wurde nicht gefunden, meinten Sie vielleicht:
     Befehl »nslint« aus dem Paket »nslint« (universe)
     Befehl »ftlint« aus dem Paket »freetype2-demos« (universe)
    fslint: Befehl nicht gefunden.

changing to english doesn't work with (`LANG` and `LC_ALL` environment variables) - I assume it's possible to understand. A hint ~"Did you mean fslint-gui of the package 'fslint'" would be helpful.

Due to the fact that there's no fslint command, `fslint` could be made a pointer to `fslint-gui` which would be even more easy.

There is actually an fslint command not installed
on the $PATH by default, but accessible at:
/usr/share/fslint/fslint/fslint

The above messages are comming from the system helper,
not fslint itself.

thanks,

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I speak German, so no problem about the error message. I have some sympathy for this request.

@Pádraig, in other words, if one where to actually make a symlink from /usr/bin/fslint to /usr/bin/fslint-gui it could break things, /usr/share/fslint/fslint/fslint in particular?
