Bug#795111: texlive-base: bad path in /etc/libpaper.d/texlive-base (cf. bug 726107)
Package: texlive-base
Version: 2015.20150810-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Fresh install of jessie 8.1 with an immediate upgrade to sid, and
installation of texlive-full,
Papersize defaulted to a4 with /etc/papersize set to letter.
The issue is that the binaries for texconfig and texconfig-sys have
been removed from the debian version of Texlive, and with that the
directory /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig as well.
The script /etc/libpaper.d/texlive-base contains the test:
# If texlive-base is removed, just do nothing.
test -x /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/texconfig/tcfmgr || exit 0
With the removal of texconfig from the debian version of texlive, this
is no longer a valid path, so the script exits without adjusting the
papersize.
This was noted in bug 726107, which was closed in 2013.
