Bug#418788: texlive-base-bin: dvips fails with \includegraphics outside current directory
Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2005.dfsg.2-12
Severity: normal
##################################
minimal input file
("cat.eps" is from /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/rotating/
if "/tmp/cat.eps" is replaced by just "cat.eps", it works OK.
The dvips from tetex-bin handled pathnames just fine in this situation.)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphics}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{/tmp/cat.eps}
\end{document}
