[Bug 577305] Re: [SRU] Missing dependency on ed causes texconfig to fail silently in texlive-binaries
I can reproduce the problem in Lucid _and_ it is not fixed in Maverick. The problem is that texconfig fails to run /usr/share/texmf/texconfig/tcfmgr which is provided by texlive-base which in turn needs ed. So a possible fix could be that texlive-binaries depends on texlive-base which in turn should depend on ed because tcfmgr (or one of the callee) needs it. The same issue occurs in maverick. To reproduce with the current version in maverick: $ apt-get remove --purge texlive-base texlive-binaries ed $ apt-get install texlive-binaries $ texconfig paper a4 (nothing happens) $ apt-get install texlive-base $ texconfig paper a4 $ texconfig paper letter Shows modified config lines (in lucid is displays nothing because ed was not installed). That works but the fix is the wrong way round. Marking as verification-failed. ** Changed in: texlive-bin (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: Fix Committed = In Progress ** Changed in: texlive-bin (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = In Progress ** Tags added: verification-failed ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Summary changed: - [SRU] Missing dependency on ed causes texconfig to fail silently in texlive-binaries + [SRU] Missing dependency on texlive-base causes texconfig to fail silently in texlive-binaries -- [SRU] Missing dependency on texlive-base causes texconfig to fail silently in texlive-binaries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 577305] Re: [SRU] Missing dependency on ed causes texconfig to fail silently in texlive-binaries
If you want people to know about your repository, please document it in debian/control using the fields defined in 6.2.5.2 of the Debian developer's reference. I will do that. Still I expect people taking our work from Debian and using it in Ubuntu to know without further ado where the repository is. BTW, most Ubuntu patches are as useless as a pit in the bag, because they are based on the actual debian source package. But the source packages of the arch-indep packages are generated from a different setup, so ehatever patches there come in do not help at all. The texlive-bin source package currently has no such field defined, which means the location of your repository is not discoverable using the normal Debian procedures. google-that-for-me ... If one wants to contribute there are teo simple things: - read the debian-tex-maint@ debian ml - checkout the actual repository and send patches relative to that. Anything else is mostly nuisance, sorry to say that. I stopped reading quite some time ago the Ubuntu bug reports becausr the noise-info level is so low that it is wasted time (typical quality: foobar is broken turning out that disk space is running out). If those happy Ubuntu hackers would fix things at the root that would be such an improvement ... enough ranting Norbert -- [SRU] Missing dependency on ed causes texconfig to fail silently in texlive-binaries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577305 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ahhh .. ever thought about checking the repository? I have packages
ready but I need to prepare n email to release managers, as we (Debian)
are in freeze.
Funny how fast you draw conclusions.
