[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#962247: Required Configuration Files Not Found

[Dario Strbenac]

Package: circos
Version: 0.69.6

I think this software has not been correctly packaged. Running the circos command with no parameters results in 

  The Config::General module reported the error
  Config::General The file "etc/colors_fonts_patterns.conf" does not exist
  within ConfigPath:
  /etc/circos.circos.circos/etc./usr/bin/etc./usr/bin/../etc./usr/bin/.../usr/bin!
  at /usr/share/perl5/Circos/Configuration.pm line 820

The server administrator at university investigated the c and explains "The issue is that it looked for file etc/colors_fonts_patterns.conf in various places including current directory and in /etc/circos, when that file was present as /etc/circos/colors_fonts_patterns.conf (while circos tried the name /etc/circos/etc/colors_fonts_patterns.conf with an extra or bogus /etc/ in the middle)."
