Such an installation contains broken links and should not be allowed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. { rpm -qf /usr/bin/latex; } 2. { file /usr/bin/latex; } 3. { file /usr/bin/../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/latex; } 4. { rpm -qf /usr/bin/../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/pdftex; } 5. { rpm -q --whatrequires texlive-bin; } 6. { rpm -q --whatrequires texlive; } 7. { rpm -q --whatrequires texlive-latex; } Actual Results: 1. texlive-bin-latex-2011-1.1.2.x86_64 2. /usr/bin/latex: symbolic link to `../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/latex' 3. /usr/bin/../lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux/latex: symbolic link to `pdftex' 4. texlive-bin-2011-1.1.2.x86_64 5. texlive-2011-1.1.2.noarch 6. texlive-latex-2011-1.1.2.noarch 7. no package requires texlive-latex Expected Results: 7. texlive-bin-latex-2011-1.1.2.x86_64 Actually, texlive-latex requires texlive-bin-latex, which seems to be a mistake because the LaTeX publishing system the package carries can be used with binary interpreters from various vendors. Workaround: never install texlive-bin-latex as such. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
