I am unconcerned about texlive-nfs. I have no interest in texlive-nfs
whatsoever. I just feel that when I install 32 bit latex it should work and it
doesn't.
Speaking as someone who administers a large mixed platform linux network where
everyone uses latex I can put my hand on my heart and say it isn't really -nfs
necessary and it is trivial these days to install locally or it would be if the
install scripts weren't crippled.
The fix required here should not interfere with texlive-nfs unless texlive-nfs
is also broken in the same manner.
This problem appears to be unique amongst suse packages in being so
comprehensively broken for little apparent reason. The proper solution is to
fix this bug and then fix any consequences in texlive-nfs.
The kludge suggested is ugly, time consuming and goes against the principles of
having a package management system in the first place. It is easier as a user
or administrator to install from the www.tug.org than follow the suggested fix.
Especially if you consider the problems maintaining this kludge.
The reason "won't fix this bug because other bugs in other packages rely on it"
isn't very good.
