Bug#161516: tetex-bin: texexec can't find texexec.ini
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-7
Severity: normal
Not sure how important this is---I hadn't even heard of texexec
until my wife mentioned it. But, it seems to be almost useless
the way it is installed, so I thought I'd report this.
$ texexec --verbose
TeXExec 2.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001
locating ini file : not found by kpsewhich
locating ini file : not found by searching
locating ini file : no environment variable set
locating ini file : not found in own path
warning : texexec.ini not found, did you read 'texexec.rme'?
$ cd /usr/share/texmf/context/config
$ ln -s texexec texexec.ini
$ texexec --verbose
TeXExec 2.5 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001

.....
BUT:
$ cd /
$ texexec --verbose

So even with the symlink, it still doesn't look in the right place...
