I don't think we will fix this - frankly I don't even think there is a bug. By the way, a2ping which does a similar job is in texlive-base-bin.

Package: texlive-extra-utils Version: 2007-11 Severity: wishlist Hi, Today I've needed the epstopdf script to convert an eps file into a pdf one. So I did a apt-cache searh epstopdf but got no results. It would be nice if you could add the binary or shellscript names to the package description so that the package shows up when doing a search. Thanks! Gregor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
