Bug#124337: [patch] texconfig with whiptail instead of dialog

[Adrian Bunk <bunk@fs.tum.de>]

Hi Thomas,

YAMASHITA Junji <ysjj@unixuser.org> suggested that texconfig should be
able to work automatically with whiptail when dialog isn't available.

Package: whiptail
Description: Displays user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts.
 whiptail is a "dialog" replacement using newt instead of ncurses. It
 provides a method of displaying several different types of dialog boxes
 from shell scripts. This allows a developer of a script to interact with
 the user in a much friendlier manner.


The patch to implement this is simple:

--- tetex-bin-1.0.7+20011202.orig/texk/tetex/texconfig
+++ tetex-bin-1.0.7+20011202/texk/tetex/texconfig

       test -f /usr/bin/dialog && DIALOG_PROG=/usr/bin/dialog
