texinfo-4.7 didnt install it so i've updated 4.8 to not install it either

I'd like to reopen this. It looks like tetex-3 no longer provides texi2pdf. I
just commented out

rm -f "${D}"/usr/bin/texi2pdf

from texinfo-4.8.ebuild and I get a working texi2pdf.

please open a new bug in that case.

The solution provided in texinfo-4.8-r2.ebuild doesn't work if you install 
tetex-2 AFTER texinfo. 
 
Extract of texinfo-4.8-r2.ebuild 
 
# tetex installs this guy #76812 
has_version '<app-text/tetex-3' && rm -f "${D}"/usr/bin/texi2pdf 
 
Should we re-open the bug ?

This is not really solved, because <=app-text/tetex-2* ebuilds or tetex-2
eclass
need to check for the same thing, i.e., something like:

has_version 'sys-apps/texinfo' && rm -f "${D}"/usr/bin/texi2pdf

Reopened.

I think this would solve the situation. Can you provide a patch, please ?
