Description rexy 2018-01-07 17:06:56 CET

Description of problem:
the "dot" binary can't create any graph as it doesn't know any output format

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.38.0.20

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
- install the RPM graphviz
- run : dot -Tpng
- error : Format "png" not recognized. Use one of: ... nothing

--- INFO ---
On Mga5, it works with the same version of graphviz (2.38.0.10) :
run : dot -Tpng (ok)
run : dot -Tfoo
error : Format "foo" not recognized. Use one of : bmp canon cmap cmapx ... +20 more formats.

After more investigation, i think it's just a lack of dependencies in the Graphviz RPM as it works on a full KDE install but not on a lxde one.

I need to run "dot -c" as root before using it in order to configure plugins.
I don't know why as the postinstall script should have done that before :
---
rpm -qi graphviz --scripts
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
/usr/bin/dot -c

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no registered maintainer for graphviz.

I think, you can close this bug, as i can't reproduce it.
Sometimes i need to run "/usr/bin/dot -c" after installing this RPM.
