Subject: texlive-science-doc: `ozguide.dvi.gz` damaged.
Package: texlive-science-doc
Version: 2009-7
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Dear Debian folks,


I investigated a crash of Evince when running `texdoc objectz` [1] a little more. It looks like the archive is damaged. Evince does not crash anymore.

    $ texdoc objectz
    ** (evince:25086): WARNING **: Fehler beim Untersuchen der Datei /tmp/texdoc.RkTZLz/ozguide.dvi mit fstat(): Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

    ** (evince:25086): WARNING **: Fehler beim Setzen der Metadaten der Datei: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

    ** (evince:25086): WARNING **: Fehler beim Setzen der Metadaten der Datei: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

Looking at [2] I get

    $ gunzip ozguide.dvi.gz 
    gzip: ozguide.dvi.gz: Too many levels of symbolic links

and File Roller can also not handle this archive.

    $ texdoc steinmetz

from the same package works though. So it does seem to be specific to `objectz`.


Thanks,

Paul

Dear bug submitter,

the bug you have submitted against one of the TeX packages concerns
not the Debian packaging of TeX Live, nor the upstream TeX Live 
distribution itself, but Up-upstream, the original author of
the respective package.

TeX Live only collects what authors provide.

Thus, neither we, the Debian TeX Team, nor the Upstream TeX Live team
can fix anything regarding this bug.

Furthermore, the bug you have reported is rather old.

We suggest you to do the following:
* verify that the bug is still present with current TeX Live (2013)
  installation on Debian
* if yes, please report the bug to the *original* author of the TeX
  package, and *not* to upstream TeX Live nor Debian

Other ways to deal with these bugs are requesting help from TeX experts,
your local TeX consultant, or local TeX User Groups. One good place to
ask questions is the newsgroup comp.text.tex, or the StackExchange
website http://tex.stackexchange.com


Thanks a lot for your understanding

Norbert
