This bug is still open with Intrepid. I would like to point out that the bug is present on a new installation of texlive-full. While I understand Norbert Preining's point of view (and I would like to thank him and all Debian TeX group for their stellar work) and use cases, on a new installation a symlink should be created and update-alternatives --auto should be the default.
Unfortunately I installed texlive a few weeks ago, therefore I have no way to check some log files to see whether the problem is actually caused by some bug/problem when installing a different package. Below is the output of update-alternatives: [exit=0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]@karp ~]$ :LANG=C update-alternatives --display xdvi.bin xdvi.bin - status is manual. link currently points to /usr/bin/xdvi-xaw.bin /usr/bin/xdvi-xaw.bin - priority 30 Current `best' version is /usr/bin/xdvi-xaw.bin. [exit=0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]@karp ~]$ :LANG=C update-alternatives --list xdvi.bin /usr/bin/xdvi-xaw.bin -- [gutsy] xdvi.bin symlink not installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156628 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
