Bug#348513: tetex-doc: tetexdoctk fails with "Couldn't open system-wide default config file texdocrc"

[Meik Hellmund <Meik.Hellmund@math.uni-leipzig.de>]

just my experience:

- I had tetex-* installed, but not perl-tk
- tried texdoctk and it told me to install perl-tk
- installed texdoctk and it failed with "Couldn't open system-wide default config file texdocrc"
- found this bug and did 
      cp /usr/share/tetex-base/texdocrc /etc/texdoctk/
- now the file is there but texdotk still fails with this error!
- strace texdoctk -> texdoctk asks kpsewhich for the location of this file
- mktexlsr ... now everything works fine.

Why was the texdocrc file missing in the first place? Is it only installed if
perl-tk is already present?


Best wishes, Meik
