* [ISSUE] texlive has (potentially) broken symlink to extractbb @ 2023-04-29 18:54 meator 2023-04-29 18:59 ` classabbyamp ` (3 more replies) 0 siblings, 4 replies; 5+ messages in thread From: meator @ 2023-04-29 18:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: ml [-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1193 bytes --] New issue by meator on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/43674 Description: ### Is this a new report? Yes ### System Info Void 6.1.21_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFFFFF ### Package(s) Affected texlive-20210325_5, texlive-Xdvi-20210325_5 ### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro? _No response_ ### Expected behaviour I have `texlive` installed but I don't have `texlive-Xdvi` installed (because it isn't a dependency of `texlive`). `texlive` provides the `/usr/bin/extractbb` program which is actually a symlink to `/usr/bin/xdvipdfmx`. I expect `extractbb` to work. ### Actual behaviour `/usr/bin/extractbb` is a broken symlink because `/usr/bin/xdvipdfmx` doesn't exist because `texlive-Xdvi` isn't installed. Normally I would have added `texlive-Xdvi` as a dependency of `texlive` myself but because `texlive-Xdvi` is a subpackage of `texlive`, the "correct" solution would (I think) be to merge these two packages and remove `texlive-Xdvi` which could be complex. ### Steps to reproduce 1. ``` xbps-install -S texlive ``` 2. ``` extractbb ``` ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
