Hi everyone, apparently with 0.6.90, the filters were changed from having two arguments (input file $1, output file $2) to having only one argument (input file $1) and reading the output from stdout. I noticed that while porting a debian patch for application/msword_filter to 0.6.90 (see attached patch) Apparently it was forgotten, to cat $tmptxtfile to stdout. What I got instead was this Could not find required program 'elinks' or 'links' Using lynx. Ouput will be pretty ugly. Apparently, wvText always prints this message to stdout, even if it successfully transforms a doc document to txt. I'm not sure if other tools behave like that, but there is a risk, that we get noise in the search results. We either change back to the two argument style, or to be safe update all invocations of external tools in filter scrips to use 2 &> 1 /dev/null.
