Bug#171235: tetex-bin: BibTeX's behaviour with files ending with "aux" is wrong
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20021025-3
Severity: normal
The following behaviour has been observed : If a file ends with "aux",
bibtex does not add the ".aux" extension, so that it does not find the .aux
file.
Some example :
% cat reseaux.tex
\documentclass{article}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\begin{document}
\cite{et23}
\bibliography{test}
\end{document}
% touch test.bib
% latex reseaux
[...]
% bibtex reseaux
I couldn't open file name 'reseaux'
Here, bibtex searchs for the file "reseaux" instead of reseaux.aux
bibtex reseaux.aux doesn't work either (it DOES read reseaux.aux, but
creates reseaux.aux.bbl, not suitable for being used by latex, which is
waiting for reseaux.bbl)
Names ending with "aux" are common in french, and this bad behaviour is
somewhat irritating.
Regards
Emmanuel
