Bug#171196: tetex-bin: 1.0.7+20021025-3 missing cfg files, xdvi unhappy
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20021025-3
Severity: normal
The package in testing contains /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/xdvi.cfg which
xdvi expects to find. (The man page says so, strongly, at the bottom.)
The package in unstable removes these files, causing to xdvi to complain
at startup, and to have trouble displaying the correct fonts.
While looking around a machine running 'testing' to find a copy of
xdvi.cfg, I noticed that the ps2pk.map file is also missing.

I would therefore like to posit that computing's central challenge, viz. "How
not to make a mess of it," has /not/ been met.
