Bug#4102: sp and LaTeX problems
Package: sp
Version: 1.1-1
Sp can install support files for LaTeX, but has some problems with that:
1. If LaTeX is not under /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex, nothing happens. I
think $TEXMF should be test too, having something like:
: ${TEXMF:=/usr/lib/texmf}
if [ -d $TEXMF/tex/latex ]
then
...
2. If LaTeX is found but linuxdoc-sgml has not been installed, it
will failed to copy /usr/lib/linuxdoc-sgml/linuxdoc-sgml.sty.
3. Because sp can be installed at anytime (it doesn't depends on
linuxdoc-sgml or latex), I think this LaTeX installation should
be put in an /usr/sbin/spconfig script run by the postinst script.
If LaTeX or linuxdoc-sgml are not installed, it would be nice to
get a message saying that whenever the two are installed the admin
should run spconfig to get the sp support for LaTeX.
Yves.
