[Pkg-texlive-maint] Bug#356390: texlive-extra-utils: texdoc does not find all documents

[Jörg Sommer]

Package: texlive-extra-utils
Version: 2005-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I quote the parts from the discussion on the mailing list:

> % texdoc -v -s hyperref
> %
> 
> But it is installed:
> % dpkg -L texlive-latex-base |grep hyperref/manual.pdf
> /usr/share/doc/texlive-latex-base/latex/hyperref/manual.pdf.gz
> /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/hyperref/manual.pdf.gz

The problem is that texdoc searches only for files and not for links.
Bummer.

texdoc:
        find ... -type f -print ...
so it would find something if it would also search for links. All the
files are linked from /usr/share/doc/... to
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc/...

Bye, Jörg.
