Description bela.hausmann 2010-07-04 19:03:30 UTC

A broken symlink is generated for perltex:

$ ll /usr/bin/perltex 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44  4. Jul 20:04 /usr/bin/perltex -> ../share/texmf-dist/scripts/perltex/perltex

I think the bug lies in the TEXLIVE_MODULE_BINSCRIPTS variable where “texmf-dist/scripts/perltex/perltex” should be changed to “texmf-dist/scripts/perltex/perltex.pl”

This fixed the symlink for me:

$ ll /usr/bin/perltex 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46  4. Jul 20:53 /usr/bin/perltex -> ../share/texmf-dist/scripts/perltex/perltex.pl

Reproducible: Always

Thanks; I've fixed this for TeX Live 2010 that should come soon

fixed now; additionally, ebuilds will die if the symlink is broken for texlive>=2010
