Bug#589636: Dependency on 'ed' of texconfig is not declared



Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2009-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

texconfig uses ed, without declaring this as a dependency (and ed is
only optional). Furthermore, it doesn't check the exit code of 'ed'
calls, so it fails silently in case ed is missing.

Adding a dependency on ed in the binary package would solve the first
issue. Handling ed exit codes nicely needs some more work, though.
