currently the extension hgk is not working. The tcl-script "contrib/hgk" must be bundled and installed to /usr/bin in order to work. The current maintainer "philippem" was not active for a long time.
should we remove him as maintainer? If this package has no maintainer, I can do the change as well.
Thank you for the report. As you imply, contrib/hgk is not found by urpmf, so seems to be missing. You are right about the 'mercurial' maintainer, it is now various people. [We need to purge maintDB of several packagers who are no longer active]. > If this package has no maintainer, I can do the change as well. If you are willing, please do. And if so, assign this bug to yourself. Otherwise it needs to be assigned globally to pkg-bugs.

This is developer territory, and I am completely out of my depth where it comes to using this tool. I can say that the update candidate installed cleanly over the original rpm. But, if I am reading the above comments correctly, after the update there should be a "contrib/hgk" in /usr/bin. In looking at the lists of files, and the /usr/bin directory, I see a "/usr/bin/hgk" where there wasn't one before the update, but I don't see the "/usr/bin/contrib/hgk" that seemed to be specified in comment 0 and comment 2. I am confused.

@Thomas: no, only /usr/bin/hgk was missing. Without that file the graphical frontend is not working (which can help sometimes). I guess there is no need, to recheck it is working. Installing it and verifying the file is present is good enough. Thanks.
Thanks for the clarification, Marc. Any coding skills I might still have are about 40 years out of date, so development definitely is not my area. But, if you want to know how to grow tomatoes and sweet corn, I'm your guy... OKing, and validating. Advisory in comment 3.

You are hitting a spot :) This year my tomatoes did not grow very well - but the summer was quite difficult. First very warm, then very cold. But I hope to have more luck next year :)
