Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007.dfsg.1-4.np.etch.1
Severity: normal
[By the way, Norbert, your etch backport of the package has a higher
version number than the lenny version. I've switched to lenny meanwhile,
but I still have the backport installed until 2007.dfsg.2-1 reaches
testing. Better use ~ in the version number]
kpsewhere acts very strangely here. It looks as if the whole concept of
kpsewhere flawed, maybe only in newer web2c/libkpathsea versions?
Or is there a Debian-specific breakage?
$ kpsewhere texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
It does *not* find an other texmf.cnf file I have, nore other duplicate
files.
$ ls .texmf-config/web2c/texmf.cnf
.texmf-config/web2c/texmf.cnf
So I investigated what kpsewhere does:
$ tail /usr/bin/kpsewhere
IFS=':'
for file
do
for path in `kpsewhich --expand-path='$TEXMF'`
do
eval TEXMF=\$path kpsewhich $options \"\$file\"
done
done
exit 0
$ IFS=':'
$ for path in $kpsepath; do echo $path; done
/home/frank/.texmf-config
/home/frank/.texmf-var
/home/frank/texmf
/etc/texmf
/var/lib/texmf
/usr/local/share/texmf
/usr/share/texmf
/usr/share/texmf-texlive
That looks good.
$ for path in $kpsepath; do eval TEXMF=\$path kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMF; done
/home/frank/.texmf-config
/home/frank/.texmf-var
/home/frank/texmf
/etc/texmf
/var/lib/texmf
/usr/local/share/texmf
/usr/share/texmf
/usr/share/texmf-texlive
That too, but
$ for path in $kpsepath; do eval TEXMF=\$path kpsewhich texmf.cnf; done
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
This behavior doesn't only show up with texmf.cnf, the same with
fmtutil.cnf (with and without --format='web2c files').
