Bug#94546: texconfig doesn't run dialog
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20001218-2
Running "texconfig" used to run dialog (which I do have installed); now it
just displays the help text. I believe that this happens because texconfig
doesn't find a tcdialog binary (around line 1722):
: check_for_binary tcdialog >/dev/null
: dialogok=$?
:
: # we have called some shellfunctions, so for HP-UX's shell, we need
: # to set the positional parameters this again:
: set x $SAVE_ARGS; shift
: if [ $dialogok != 0 ] && [ $# = 0 ]; then
: set help
: fi
(Is this what Bug #94457 is asking about?)
