It's NOT in tofrodos!<br /><br />On an Ubuntu 10.04 system:<br /><br />$ sudo apt-get install tofrodos<br />$ dos2unix<br />dos2unix: command not found<br />$ unix2dos<br />unix2dos: command not found<br />$ apt-file list tofrodos<br />tofrodos: /usr/bin/fromdos<br />tofrodos: /usr/bin/todos<br />tofrodos: /usr/share/doc/tofrodos/NEWS.Debian.gz<br />tofrodos: /usr/share/doc/tofrodos/changelog.Debian.gz<br />tofrodos: /usr/share/doc/tofrodos/copyright<br />tofrodos: /usr/share/doc/tofrodos/readme.txt.gz<br />tofrodos: /usr/share/doc/tofrodos/tofrodos.html<br />tofrodos: /usr/share/man/man1/fromdos.1.gz<br />tofrodos: /usr/share/man/man1/todos.1.gz<br /><br />Yea, so there is no 'dos2unix' or 'unix2dos' symlinks in this package. It's a pain, because this command has been around for decades, by those names. Who's bright idea was it to change the names and/or to remove the symlinks?Darrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05160548373326875386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11593374.post-78981820283204200402010-06-15T06:44:10.114+01:002010-06-15T06:44:10.114+01:00Thanks man.
