bins doesn't find template files nor its locales

[Wilfried Horn]

Binary package hint: bins

Since I don't now how to write a patch file here is a diff that resolves the bug. I hope it helps:

< my $localePath = "/usr/local/share/locale"; # Base locale path (for I18N)
---
> my $localePath = "/usr/share/locale"; # Base locale path (for I18N)
386c386
< globalDataDir => "/usr/local/share/bins", # System wide data directory
---
> globalDataDir => "/usr/share/bins", # System wide data directory

The above is the Right Thing to do (after all, the manpage nominates /usr/share/bins as the templates directory) but the following is a quick post-install fix that users can apply without resorting to package mangling:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/bins /usr/local/share/bins

This bug is NOT present in the Debian version of bins in unstable (1.1.29-11)

Ubuntu 8.04 has a very old version of bins: 1.1.29-9 (Aug 2007) and the bug is present.
