Bug#482490: wrong error msg when file not found in jed library dir

[G. Milde]

Package: jed
Version: 1:0.99.18+dfsg.1-10
Severity: minor


When Jed is told to evaluate a file (evalfile(), autoload() or require()) it
searches it in the "jed library path" (Jed 0.99.19 will look in the "slang
search path).

If the file is not found in the search path, the error message contains only
the last directory of the search path, e.g.:

S-Lang> message(get_jed_library_path);
  
 /usr/share/jed/lib,usr/share/jed/jed-extra/utils/,/usr/share/jed/jed-extra/

S-Lang> require("pcre");

 Unable to load /usr/share/jed/jed-extra/pcre.slc

This message can lead non-experts to the wrong conclusions, trying to find
out why pcre.slc is missing in /usr/share/jed/jed-extra/ while the reason
for this error is, that /usr/share/slsh/ is missing from the jed-library-path
(cf. Bug #482487).
