Package: tex-common
Version: 1.9
Severity: normal

,----[ 90TeXDoc.cnf ]
| % the default extensions for documentation
| TEXDOCSSUFFIX = .pdf:.dvi:.ps:.txt
| % we allow some compression methods
| TEXDOCSCOMPRESS = :.gz:.bz2
| % put html at the very end, to avoid showing the Catalogue:
| TEXDOCHTML = .html
| % and put that all now together
| TEXDOCEXT = {$TEXDOCSSUFFIX}{$TEXDOCSCOMPRESS}:{$TEXDOCHTML}{$TEXDOCSCOMPRESS}
`----
                                   
However, this does not work, since TEXDOCEXT is already defined by
45TeXinputs.cnf and texmf.cnf is odd in that *earlier* entries take
precedence. This can be seen from

$ kpsewhich -var-value=TEXDOCEXT
{:.pdf:.ps:.dvi:.html:.txt:.tex}{:.gz:.bz2:.zip:.Z}

which is the value defined in 45TeXinputs.cnf. The effect of this is
that, eg, for everyshi the html page from the Catalogue is found
first: 

$ texdoc -l everyshi
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/english/catalogue/entries/everyshi.html
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/latex/everyshi/everyshi.dvi.gz

This does not happen with many other packages, since their
documentation comes in (uncompressed) PDF files:

$ texdoc -l array
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/latex/tools/array.pdf
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/english/catalogue/entries/array.html

Possbile solutions:

* put 90TeXDoc.cnf as 40TeXDoc.cnf before 45TeXinputs.cnf
* replace the definitions in 45TeXinputs.cnf by those in 90TeXDoc.cnf
  and remove the latter file
* fix texdoc so that it does not matter if a file is compressed or not
