Bug#189352: tetex-bin: search path for texdoctk wrong
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-1
Severity: normal
The TeX search path for the file texdocrc by the executable texdoctk
in tetex-bin is the following:
% KPATHSEA_DEBUG=8 kpsewhich --progname=texdoctk --format='other text files' texdocrc
[...]
kdebug:Search path for other text files files (from compile-time paths.h)
[...]
kdebug: compile-time path = .:$TEXMF/texdoctk//
But the actual file (which is in tetex-extra, separate bug report
filed) is in /etc/texdoctk/texdocrc, and since $TEXMF does not contain
/etc, the file is not found.
One way to solve the problem is to add the line
TEXDOCTKINPUTS = /etc/texdoctk//
to /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf and run texmf-update.
