I see.

I see.  So this is wishlist bug to make debiandoc-sgml work stable even
under non-default configuration.

Good.

OK.

Also, discussing this with Nobert may be helpful for getting LaTeX 
work better.

 No, kpathsearch is pretty stable.

 This is just my host config issue.

 While  I think that present behavior is a bug, and that it broke
things in a pretty legal configuration, and  that  fix  will  not
break  anything -- I don't think that it is reasonable to push it
into stable.

Hi,

Was there major change in kpathsearch for jessie?  That is the question.

If that is the case, I need to fix this in stable=jessie.

Nobert, can you elaborate, if you know.

Great! Do you wish to become maintainer?  With the speed to come up with
patch, you know better than me :-)

I guess this is a new texlive change happening in jesse.  You are using:
  APT prefers oldoldstable
  APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable')
ii  texlive  2014.20141024-2 (jessie)
ii  texlive-latex-extra  2014.20141024-1 (jessie)

Great.  But do I need to upload to stable (jessie) too?

Or you are temporaly using stable and issue was something you
experienced by moving to testing or unstable?

Let me know.
