Re: Recfix fails without warning on non-existent files

[John Darrington]

Thanks.

I would have written this something like:

   if (!db)
     {
       int err = errno;
       fprintf (stderr, _("recfix: error: cannot read file %s: %s"), 
recfix_file, strerror (err));
       return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }

That way, the user gets a hint about *why* recfix cannot read the file.

         I think it ought to give some kind of warning that the file does
         not exist.
         
     Fixed in git.
     Thanks!
