Bug#524953: incorrect location for mplayer.conf in debconf message

[Karl Goetz]

Package: mplayer
Version: 1.0~rc3+svn20090405-1
Severity: normal


When upgrading mplayer today I was told my config file is being replaced, and
asked if I wanted to diff it. When I did, I saw the following path given for
system wide mplayer config: /usr/local/etc/mplayer.conf . Here is the diff:


-### mplayer DEBCONF AREA. DO NOT EDIT THIS AREA OR INSERT TEXT BEFORE IT.
-#video output driver
-vo=xv,x11
-#device for dvd
-dvd-device=/dev/dvd
-#enable fontconfig
-fontconfig=1
-font='sans'
-#if you do not like this default, override it by adding
-#  a ao= line below this debconf area
-ao=alsa,oss
-### END OF DEBCONF AREA.  PLACE YOUR EDITS BELOW; THEY WILL BE PRESERVED.
+#
+# MPlayer configuration file
+#
+# Configuration files are read system-wide from /usr/local/etc/mplayer.conf
+# and per user from ~/.mplayer/config, where per-user settings override
+# system-wide settings, all of which are overrriden by the command line.
+#
+# The configuration file settings are the same as the command line


Thanks,
Karl.
