Bug#347931: tetex-doc: Broken links to style files
Package: tetex-doc
Version: 3.0-11
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line ***
There are several incorrect links:
1) Changing the texmf root from /usr/share/texmf to
/usr/share/texmf-tetex caused several links to break. The supplied
patch replaces these (relative) links with the correct absolute
paths. (I haven't checked all links manually.)
2) Instead of saying "You should open that file as
/usr/share/texmf/doc/index.html", please specify the base URI
using <base href="...">. This will ensure that
relative links work, even if the file is opened with another name.
The supplied patch does this.
3) Links to applications: please link to the application's homepage
instead of its vendor's. The supplied patch does this for kdvi,
kghostview, kpdf (which is incorrectly spelled as kdf) and acroread.
The links for kdvi and kghostview are not satisfactory but better
than www.kde.org.
The link for ggv also has this problem but I haven't found any
working link for it.
Finally, the patch:
