fc4 tetex bugs

Quoting [email protected]:

> On my system (Fedora core 4), "texdoc <anything>" says "Can't

For the record, Bugzilla shows the following:

Alias  	Status  Resolution  	 Summary
160536 	CLOS 	NOTA 	initex and virtex symlinks missing in tetex package
162441  CLOS 	RAWH 	tetex package has dependencies on perl-Tk
162442  CLOS 	RAWH 	tetex - texdoctk setup defaults do not fit Fedora
164960 	CLOS 	RAWH 	pxdvi never read XDvi resource file for pxdvi
165070  CLOS 	RAWH 	tetex: texdoc can't locate documentation files after

164986 	NEW 		The relationship between teTeX and Publishing TeX is unclear
 
The post-install script for the tetex-doc package neglected to run texhash.
To get texdoc working, just run (as root) "texhash", then:

$ texdoc -l TETEXDOC
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.dvi
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.ps

Since I never remember to use 'TETEXDOC', I prefer:

$ texdoc -s tetex
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.dvi
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.ps
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/teTeX-FAQ
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/eurotex98-te.pdf
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex.png
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex.gif
/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/shapepar/Makefile.tetex
/usr/share/texmf/doc/help/Catalogue/tetex.png
/usr/share/texmf/doc/help/Catalogue/entries/tetex.html
/usr/share/texmf/doc/help/Catalogue/entries/ttf-tetex.html

With texdoctk, searching for 'tetex' will find TETEXDOC.pdf.
