Bug#627381: texlive-base: texdoc.cnf in /etc/texmf/texdoc is ignored (wrong symlink?)
Package: texlive-base
Version: 2009-11
Severity: normal
File: /etc/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
In Debian, we have:
$ ls -l /usr/share/texmf-texlive/texdoc
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 7. Okt 2010 texdoc.cnf -> /etc/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
$ texdoc --debug=config tabularx
[...]
texdoc debug-files: Configuration files are:
texdoc debug-files: absent /home/frank/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-bin.cnf
texdoc debug-files: absent /home/frank/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
texdoc debug-files: absent /home/frank/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-dist.cnf
texdoc debug-files: absent /usr/local/share/texmf/texdoc/texdoc-bin.cnf
texdoc debug-files: absent /usr/local/share/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
texdoc debug-files: absent /usr/share/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
So it looks only in TEXMFMAIN, not TEXMFDIST, and the symlink is in the
wrong place. Or better, texdoc should be fixed to use kpathsea to
locate the file. But I faintly remember having discussed this with
Manuel, and he didn't want to.
Regards, Frank
-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.
Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.
Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german)
