Bug Description
Binary package hint: texlive
64-bit intrepid. texlive 2007.dfsg.1-2.
The usual way to use margin kerning in pdftex is to include the file "protcode.tex" (which then includes other files).
Two (identical) copies of protcode.tex are installed in intrepid:
[HN:usr] find . -name protcode.tex
./share/
./share/
[HN:usr]
But neither of them is in the path searched by pdftex. This means that the usual line
\input protcode.tex
fails.
Most likely, the problem is due to the fact that neither of these directories is included in kpathsea. The relevant files should therefore be also included in a directory that is available via the kpathsea mechanism. (Note that this is only my guess as to the problem... the basic bug is simply that "\input protcode.tex" fails.)
