Bug description:
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
I switched to Debian unstable after problems with TeXLive installations
introduce about Oneiric.
As experienced Unix administrator (AIX and RedHat certified) I was astonished
not to be able
to solve the problem.
After several attempts I found out that my choices given to the installer:
English - Berlin timezone - German eliminate deadkeys
yield without any reason to the assumption that the paper format is "letter".
E.g. scientists in Germany allways use English language and Berlin time (i.e.
the real place being Germay),
which should clearly qualify to DIN A4 choice, so the choice for
/etc/papersize (letter) should be altered
to "a4" under these (and similar) selections.
The behaviour is there as already stated since Oneiric - before it worked as
expected -
and is present in the latest flavour.
I currently work under Xubuntu 12.10 but have several installations
(including Ubuntu 12.10
[which is really unstable and Unity still not configurable] and Debian Wheezy
[testing,
the latter working out of the box without changing /etc/papersize manually]).
As this bug is quite clear I hope you can fix it before 13.04 - this bug is
really mean as the
real problem is hidden for the user and even when trying to change problems
relvealed in
TeXLive installation relying on the wrong set of papersize the TeXLive
scripts for that purpose
are not working (Debian related).
But this is _NOT_ a TeXLive problem - when in Germany (Berlin time) and
setting English
(i.e. /etc/default/locale being: LANG="en_US.UTF-8"), papersize should be a4
and NOT letter.
Otherwise one should ask for papersize seperately.
If other data is needed (not think so - but anyway) please contact me:
[email protected]
Many thanks in advance for your help!
JMB
P.S.: If I missed something - like an expert mode of the installer - please
inform me.
But as unexperienced users may have similar selections the problem should
be fixed anyway.
