https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373567 Summary: usr/bin/tangle etc. not installed by texlive-bin- devel/texlive-devel Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jnieuwenhuizen@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- after installing texlive-devel, which advertises to include usr/bin/tangle (which is weird, because it has noarch), there is no usr/bin/tangle. it turns out that tangle lives in texlive-bin-devel, but in the idiosyncratic directory called /usr/lib/texmf/bin/x86_64-linux. This adds the unhandy feature that searching webpin for bin/tangle points to the wrong package. here's what's weird and kept me wondering for a while: the rpm & rpm's db and the FS & rpm2cpio disagree about package contents: root@peder:~# rpm -ql texlive-devel|grep /tangle /usr/bin/tangle /usr/share/man/man1/tangle.1.gz /usr/share/texmf/doc/man/man1/tangle.1.gz root@peder:~# ls -lr /usr/bin/tangle ls: cannot access /usr/bin/tangle: No such file or directory root@peder:~# rpm -qlp /var/cache/zypp/archives/texlive-devel-2007-69.noarch.rpm|grep /tangle /usr/bin/tangle /usr/share/man/man1/tangle.1.gz /usr/share/texmf/doc/man/man1/tangle.1.gz root@peder:~# rpm2cpio /var/cache/zypp/archives/texlive-devel-2007-69.noarch.rpm|cpio --list|grep /tangle 284 blocks /usr/share/man/man1/tangle.1.gz /usr/share/texmf/doc/man/man1/tangle.1.gz Jan.
