Bug#372715: tetex-base: texdoctk database should honour compressed status of document
Package: tetex-base
Version: 3.0-18
Followup-For: Bug #372715
In the /etc/texdoctk/texdoctk.dat database, the relative path and filename
s are to the uncompressed versions of the documentation files. The texdoctk
script is unable to extend the filename by the .gz suffix, so it fails. Thus
the texdoctk script should be enabled to find compressed versions or the
database should be changed to contain the correct filenames.
As a sidenote (probably belongs to tetex-doc wishlist): It is not very helpfull
to compress pdf files, since they normally already contain compressed
contents. gv works with this, but for instance acroread does not.
Regards, Lutz
