Bug#607351: texlive-binaries: texdoc aliasing sometimes doesn't work

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2009-8
Severity: normal

Hi, look at this:

$ grep amsthm /usr/share/texmf-texlive/texdoc/texdoc.cnf 
alias amsthm = amsthdoc
$ texdoc -s amsthm
 1 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/generic/tex-virtual-academy-pl/latex2e/macro/amsthm.html
Please enter the number of the file to view, anything else to skip: 
$ texdoc --version
texdoc 0.61
$ texdoc -s amsthdoc
 1 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/latex/amscls/amsthdoc.pdf
 2 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/latex/amsthdoc-it/amsthdoc_it.pdf
 3 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/latex/amsthdoc-it/README

So, although the alias is present, it is not used.

Manuel, do you have an idea?  This is the current Debian testing
version.  

Regards, Frank
