installation does need /usr/share/texmf-tetex/

[Oxenfrogga]

Dear everyone,

I'm running todays gutsy and cedilla gives an error report because it can't find the fonts:

***********************

oxi:~ > cat tst.txt

oxi:~ > cedilla tst.txt
WARNING: Unable to read AFM file /usr/share/texmf-tetex/fonts/afm/adobe/courier/pcrr8a.afm:

I have this tetex packages installed:

**********************
oxi:~ > dpkg -l|grep tetex
ii tetex-base 2007-10 TeX Live: teTeX transitional package
ii tetex-bin 2007-10 TeX Live: teTeX transitional package
rc tetex-doc 3.0.dfsg.3-4 The documentation component of the Debian teTeX packag
ii tetex-doc-nonfree 1.1 teTeX documentation that is non-free
ii tetex-extra 2007-10 TeX Live: teTeX transitional package
oxi:~ >
************************

An easy workaround is:
**********************
oxi:~ > cd /usr/share/
oxi:/usr/share > sudo ln -s texmf-texlive/ texmf-tetex
**********************

.... and everything works like expected!

Thanks,
Harald

Also, the cedilla package should depend on the package that provides those fonts so that apt-get install them.

The package that contains required fonts is "texlive-fonts-recommended".

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 RC or later?
