Bug#726107: [texlive-base] /etc/papersize changes not working due to bad path in /etc/libpaper.d/texlive-base
Package: texlive-base
Version: 2013.20131010-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Nothing happens if I change papersize:
$ cat /etc/papersize
letter
$ sudo paperconfig -p a4
$ sudo paperconfig -p letter
$
The reason seems to be that /etc/libpaper.d/texlive-base refers to a path that doesn't exist:
test -x /usr/share/texlive/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr || exit 0
If I modify that line to this then it works:
test -x /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig/tcfmgr || exit 0
$ sudo paperconfig -p a4
sudo paperconfig -p a4
