Description Per Öberg 2010-02-05 13:24:23 UTC

After upgrade from texlive-2008 to 2009 epstopdf.pl is missing.

Other installations of texlive2009, which i have no control over, still has epstopdf so it's not removed upstreams. In fact, I have done "ebuild /usr/portage/app-text/texlive-core/texlive-core-2009-r1.ebuild unpack" and can see that the file is still in the distribution but i can't figure out why it's not installed. I cannot see any build flags that disables or enables it. 

I'm stumped...

I guess there is always the ruby epspdf instead but i am more comfortable with epstopdf.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Found another bug-report from arch-linux about this.

Comment 2 Per Öberg 2010-02-05 13:39:56 UTC

My mistake, it was in texlive-fontutils, but I still cannot see any reason why it didn't install automatically with texlive-core

Comment 3 Daniel Lin 2010-03-04 04:35:27 UTC

As it is, texlive-core-2009-r1 installs a dangling symlink /usr/bin/repstopdf -> epstopdf.

Should texlive-core either *not* install this symlink, or PDEPEND on texlive-fontutils?

Comment 4 Francesco Turco 2012-10-06 18:12:01 UTC

I confirm that package app-text/texlive-core-2012 installs a broken symlink in /usr/bin/repstopdf that points to missing epstopdf.

equery files =app-text/texlive-core-2012 | grep repstopdf
/usr/bin/repstopdf

ls -l /usr/bin/repstopdf /usr/bin/epstopdf
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/epstopdf: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Oct  6 06:48 /usr/bin/repstopdf -> epstopdf
