[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#690004: lyx: "letter (g-brief)" does NOT depend on "europs.sty" (which is gone)

[Wolfgang Weisselberg]

Package: lyx
Version: 2.0.3-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Opening a lyx-document using g-brief again after not using lyx
for some weeks.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Got this warning (and the document classes "letter
(g-brief)" / "letter (g-brief2)" weren't available:
| Warning: Document class not available
| ----------------------------------------
| The selected document class
|         letter (g-brief)
| requires external files that are not available.
| The document class can still be used, but the
| document cannot be compiled until the following
| prerequisites are installed:
|         europs.sty
| See section 3.1.2.2 (Class Availability) of the
| User's Guide for more information.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Opening the file successfully.

    * What did you discover?
1. europs.sty is gone from Debian:

(really old apt-file data):
$ apt-file search europs.sty
texlive-fonts-recommended: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/eurofont/europs.sty
# apt-file update
$ apt-file search europs.sty
$

2. The document still renders OK in lyx.  The EUR symbol works.

3. g-brief did depend on europs at one time --- that was changed
   in 2003 (V4.0.1)

See Debian Bug #176153 for the old code, in
    http://ctan.unixbrain.com/macros/latex/contrib/g-brief/g-brief.pdf
the documentation for V4.0.1 says europs, marvosym and eurosym
are embedded into g-brief *if installed on the machine*.

    * How did you fix it?
Taught lyx the dependency on europs.sty for g-brief/g-brief2
isn't necessary any more:
