Bug#400058: texdoctk does not find any documentation

[Braun Gabor <braung@renyi.hu>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-23
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I start texdoctk.  I select "Fundamentals/general references".  Then I select 
the first line "User's guide" and click on "View". The following message
appears: ERROR usrguide.dvi not found cancelling.

There seems to be nothing special about User's guide, if I select any 
document in any category, I receive a "not found" error.  (I have not tried 
them all only some of them randomly.)

Other facts:

1) The documentations are present, e.g. usrguide.dvi is here:

/usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc/latex/base/usrguide.dvi.gz

I can view it with "texdoc usruide" (and also other documentation).

2) In texdoctk: clicking on settings, the paths in the upcoming window:

Distribution documentation root path(s):  /usr/share/texmf/doc
Local documentation root path: /usr/local/share/texmf/doc

I miss the following from the distribution paths:

/usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc

I do not understand why these are missing.
/usr/share/texmf-tetex/texdoctk/texdocrc says

# root of doc directory (from $TEXMFMAIN and $TEXMFDIST)
TEXDOCPATH=doc


kpsexpand reports
  $TEXMFMAIN to be /usr/share/texmf
  $TEXMFDIST to be /usr/share/texmf-{texlive,tetex}


BTW, the man page of texdoctk refers to a system wide configuration file
($TEXMFMAIN)/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults
but this does not exist.  I have $TEXMFMAIN/texdoctk/texdocrc instead.

Also, the man page refers to both $HOMETEXMF and $TEXMFHOME.  Is this 
intentional?
