Bug#667028: texlive-base: /use/bin/tl-paper Use of uninitialized value $current_pager in ...

[Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>]

Package: texlive-base
Version: 2011.20120322-2
Severity: normal


I noticed this while installing texlive-base in my cowbuilder chroot
(possibly after it had been removed and then reinstalled).

I cannot re-produce it removing texlive-base and reinstalling it, so
it is posible that was a one time error or subject to a race
condition.
