Bug 34217 – app-text/tetex-2.0.2-r3 clobbers app-text/texi2html (/usr/bin/texi2html)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tristan Henderson 2003-11-23 13:55:17 UTC]

app-text/tetex installs an old version of texi2html

/# texi2html --help
This is texi2html 1.56k
To convert a Texinfo file to HMTL: /usr/bin/texi2html [options] file
  where options can be:
    -expandinfo    : use @ifinfo sections, not @iftex
    -glossary      : handle a glossary
    -invisible name: use 'name' as an invisible anchor
    -Dname         : define name like with @set
    -I dir         : search also for files in 'dir'
    -menu          : handle menus
    -monolithic    : output only one file including ToC
    -number        : number sections
    -split_chapter : split on main sections
    -split_node    : split on nodes
    -usage         : print usage instructions
    -verbose       : verbose output
To check converted files: /usr/bin/texi2html -check [-verbose] files

/# qpkg -f `which texi2html`

This messes up ebuilds which depend on a newer texi2html, e.g. dev-lang/prc-tools.

Thanks for reporting. Fixed in CVS. Both texi2html are versioned now
(e.g.  app-text/texi2html-1.64-r1 installs /usr/bin/texi2html-1.64 and
app-text/tetex-2.0.3-r3 installs /usr/bin/texi2html-1.56k). 
A symlink to newer version will be created automatically, but if it
isn't please make one by hand (I think this is a bug in
alternatives.eclass, so I've just opened a bug #34245 for it).
