[Bug 301352] Re: hugin fails to call command: autopano-sift

[fabrice_sp]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: hugin
  
  Using the align option in the assistant  results in the following
  
  command: autopano-sift --maxmatches 20 /tmp/ap_resI66OG9  "/home/mike/Pictures/2008/11/01/sta_0544.jpg" "/home/mike/Pictures/2008/11/01/stb_0545.jpg" "/home/mike/Pictures/2008/11/01/stc_0546.jpg"
  failed with error code: 255
  
  I notice that although hugin installed a package called autopano-sift
  the only executable of similar name is just autopano, does hugin need to
  call this rather than autopano-sift ?
  
  Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
  Release:	8.10

+ 
+ Fix applied in Jaunty:
+ I wrote a patch to use the right autopano executable name by default (patch 52_ubuntu_autopano-sift). This is because the Mono application autopano-sift does not exists in Debian.
+ 
+ Patch to apply:
+ See debdiff
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ - Install Hugin with apt-get install hugin
+ - run it from menu, and choose the 2 picture I put in this bug report (Load images)
+ - Click on the Align button
+ - it fails with "command: autopano-sift --maxmatches 20 /tmp/ap_resBMu46W "/home/fabrice/temp/miniDSC00101.JPG" "/home/fabrice/temp/miniDSC00102.JPG" failed with error code: 255"
+ 
+ When fixed, it should autodetect matching points automatically, and show
+ the resulting panorama.
+ 
+ When uninstalling Hugin, don't forget to delete .hugin directory in your
+ home
+ 
+ Risk of regression:
+ - As this affect default parameters, it won't affect existing users that already fixed the bad default executable command (that's why you have to delete .hugin directory to reproduce the problem)
+ - In case of wrong new default parameters, it will still be possible to update the parameters manually.
+ - hugin has no rdepend
