Sorry, that bug was just reported yesterday, it's fixed in 3.0-13 which is in incoming right now. If you want to work around it, simply touch that file (as root, "touch /var/lib/texmf/helpindex.html"). >> Do you have an idea why the file was removed? > > That file? No, I didn't remove it.

Hm, probably not, it might be that the helpindex.html file simply hasn't been created; it's a package bug. But something or someone must have deleted /etc/texdoctk/texdocrc, and texdoctk won't run without it. Purging/reinstalling should bring it back; or download the tetex-doc deb file and install it with "dpkg --force-confmiss <deb-file>". As for the segfault, this is a different thing, I'll write a separate mail about that. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
