Bug#626785: texdoctk: display "sh: acroread: not found" ==> Why NON-FREE as default
Package: texlive-base
Version: 2009-11
Severity: normal
Under stable squeeze environment, I had no acroread installed and xpdf
and evince installed.
Upon firing "texdoctk" and clicking "LATEX 2ε for authors" (I guess this
is PDF resource.)I was greeted in my console as below.
----
$ texdoctk
NOTE: Button colours not set in /etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults; using defaults.
sh: acroread: not found
---
Anyway, I created the following dummy acroread shell script and I can
see my expected manuals.
----
#!/bin/sh
evince "$@"
----
As I see /usr/bin/texdoctk, this seems initial default of viewer setting
issue. Why use NON-FREE software as default?
Please use FREE SOFTWARE as default !!!
