Package: libkpathsea6
Version: 2012.20120628-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying to use package latexmk to compile my latex documents. Latexmk
uses the CLI tool 'kpsewhich' (which uses the kpathsea library) to
search for appropriate files called for in my latex main .tex file.
However, it looks like 'kpsewhich' is broken, as it CANNOT find anything
that is not in the directory I run it from.
I use a centralized .bib file in my ~/Documents/bibliographies/ folder.
I call it from my .tex sources from several directories, for example,
~/Documents/papers/. Latexmk fails to find it. Then I simply opened a
terminal and did the following:
$ cd ~/Documents/
$ kpsewhich -all cqed.bib
But there's NO output. It can't find the file, despite the fact that
this command does find it:
$ ls -R | grep cqed.bib
cqed.bib
>From what I've read about latexmk and kpathsea, the command kpsewhich
looks for my.bib in the output of ls-R...
Finally, if I do:
$ cd ~/Documents/bibliographies/
$ kpsewhich -all cqed.bib
It does find it, but it's useless like this..
Furthermore, passing the MUST-EXIST option (which according to the
documentation it should search all the disk for the bib file) also
yields no results...
I've attached the debugging output (which doesn't seem helpful at all)
of kpsewhich ran with the must-exist option.

The package is a library. Even if kpsewhich, a simple helper binary,
would be broken, that would hardly make the librarz unusable. However,
it isn't broken.

That is expected and documented in the info documentation of kpathsea.

You've read at the wrong places. Please see
