Linux Mint 11
It seems that linux mint has its own minimal implementation of the highlight command. It is contained in the package mintsystem. Since its just a wrapper around a sed call this will hang:
highlight --version
which for me causes the git testsuite (http://git-scm.com/) to hang. It was a quite hard to find since I was not suspecting that my linux installation itself would be at fault.
There are other problems: Even if I install the real highlight tool it will not be called since your replacement is installed in /usr/local/bin which comes earlier than /usr/bin in PATH.
Why not add a dependency to the real highlight tool for the mintsystem package? That would fix this bug. |
