If I remove the file on my (sarge or sid) system, I get a Tk-window
saying
,----
| FATAL ERROR
| Couldn't open system-wide default config file texdocrc.
| Kill
`----
The "Kill" is in a button, and when I press it the perl script even
exits with zero exit code. It seems as if your perl installation has a
problem.
Please send us the output of
dpkg -l perl
dpkg -l perl-tk
There are a couple of segfaults reported against perl, but I don't have
the experience to test whether this is a new one.
Regards, Frank
