Bug#327129: tetex-bin: missing links and formats
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-7.0.sarge1
Severity: minor
I just compared the list of binaries installed by tetex-bin with those
from my teTeX 3.0 installation that I compiled myself. Here are the
interesting differences:
* tetex-bin includes 'elatex' and 'pdfelatex' links. These are missing
from teTeX 3.0 and actually no longer necessary, since pdfetex is used
for all LaTeX formats. Actually executing 'elatex' or 'pdfelatex'
fails since the formats are missing.
* tetex-bin has no link 'lamed -> aleph'. The format exists, though.
* The links 'ofm2opl', 'opl2ofm', 'ovf2ovp', and 'ovp2ovf' (all pointing
to 'omfonts') are missing from tetex-bin.
* tetex-bin includes amstex, which is missing from my teTeX 3.0. No idea
how many users amstex still has.
