Comment 8 for bug 523264

Bruno,

This bug is a misnomer. Ubuntu decided to replace the tofromdos modules with their own utilities as standard with the Lucid version. The issue is that the former links of dos2unix and unix2dos are not set properly but it is hard to determine this during the install; the Lucid version is missing the soft links to these utilities...

So, the user needs either to create a soft link or alias to /usr/bin/fromdos and /usr/bin/todos... If you at my post (#6), I show how this easily can be done...

I hope this helps you... Good luck...

By the way, it did take me some time to actually understand the bug as well; you are in good company...
