[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#694906: emboss: The 'wossname' command hangs. This completely blocks emboss-explorer.

[Charles Plessy]

Package: emboss
Version: 6.4.0-4
Severity: important

Hi all,

on Sid, the 'wossname' command never exits.  Some other commands
work without problem (I use my package at work).

This bug with 'wossname' blocks completely its web interface 'emboss-explorer'.

Can people running clean Squeeze and Wheezy help me by reporting if 'wossname'
also hangs on your systems ?

Have a nice Sunday,

-- Charles
