Severity: normal
Hi,
if you disagree with the severity of this bugreport, then feel free to
change it. If you really consider closing it, then provide please also
some explanation.
Today when I wanted to update my system, I noticed that the upgrade of
tetex-bin from the above given version to version 1.0.7+20021025-3
forced me to install perl-tk, which means 7MB. I then looked at the
changelog on auric and saw that this change was introduced to one binary
needing it. While I'm in favour of fixing the bug by adding some
dependency, I'm not in favour of forcing everybody to install another
7MB of necessary, especially since not many people are using the command
in question. Please consider splitting out the binary (or maybe
binaries) in an extra package depending on perl-tk or some other
solution which doesn't force everybody to install another 7MB of unused
libraries. I'm for now going to stick with version 1.0.7+20011202-8
until an upgrade doesn't force me to install 7MB extra. Thanks for
looking into this.
Christian

Changes:
tetex-bin (2.0.2-13) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* xdvi now does no longer overwrite the XAPPLRESDIR variable, thanks to
Stephen Gildea <gildea@stop.mail-abuse.org> (closes: #215588) [frank]
* 2.0.2-11 failed to properly purge ucf's memory of texmf.cnf. This is
now done in preinst if the file doesn't exist, but is registered to
ucf (closes: #243672) [frank]
* tetex-bin now declares "Replaces:" and "Provides: texdoctk". Together
with a corresponding move of files from tetex-extra to tetex-base,
this (closes: #200264) [frank]
* epstopdf can now handle output files with spaces in the filenames
(closes: #183517), and it's manpage correctly describes the --filter
and --outfile options (closes: #191254), thanks to Johannes Martin
<jmartin@notamusica.com>, ernst.kloppenburg@de.bosch.com and Hilmar
Preusse <hille42@web.de> [frank]
* Removed "Conflicts" for dvipdfm: This package is in part replaced by
tetex-base, and the conflict caused tetex-bin to be removed upon
dist-upgrade (closes: #200261) [frank]
* texdoctk now gives a clear error message when the perl-tk package is
missing, and tetex-bin now only Recommends perl-tk. Thanks again to
Hilmar. (closes: #173872) [frank]
