[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#703089: arb_edit4 broken in BioLinux (Ubuntu12.04)

[German Bonilla Rosso]

Package: arb
Version: 5.3-private-8210

Nothing happens when trying to open the ARB_EDIT4 sequence editor, but a file not found error in the terminal:

sh: 1: arb_edit4: not found

The file is indeed not found under /usr/local/bin, /usr/lib/arb, /usr/lib/arb/bin or anywhere else in the system. A similar file is found under "/usr/lib/arb/bin/arb_edit". Softlinking this file to "arb_edit4" has still no effect but a message referring to the opening of the old ARB editor. 

Already checked the correct paths in the environmental variables, and softlinked the libmotif libraries from 3 to 4. 

This error is not reproduced when installing the latest arb version 5.5-org-9167 from source, but this is not available through the repositories and version 5.3 is still the one being shipped with BioLinux. And I don't really know what went wrong.  

I'm using the preinstalled arb in Biolinux (Ubuntu 12.04 precise), kernel 3.2.0-38-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP , libc6 2.15-0ubuntu10.3. 

This error is replicated in another BioLinux7 installation on an i7x4 laptop. 

cheers.
