Bug#635834: texlive-latex-extra: dependency problem: fancytooltips requires acrotex which is not packaged

Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2009-10
Severity: normal


Attempting to include the fancytooltips package (see minimal example 
below) fails because a package required by it (eforms.sty) is not 
available. According to

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=eforms.sty&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=acrotex&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

this file (which is part of the acrotex package) is not packaged by 
Debian at all.

observed behaviour:
failure to compile, error message
! LaTeX Error: File `eforms.sty' not found.

work-around:
install acrotex from mirror.ctan.org into local TEXINPUTS path

conclusion: 
The package itself is *not* broken (it's slightly outdated with respect 
to the current version at CTAN, but that's another matter), but it 
depends on additional software which is not available within the Debian 
packaging system.

recommendation: 
Either take fancytooltips out of texlive-latex-extra or (better) include 
acrotex as well. The acrotex distribution licence is 'LaTeX Project 
Public License, either version 1.2 of this license or (at your option) 
any later version' according to the header of 
http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/acrotex/acrotex.ins


-- 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the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in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)
