Subject: Bug#4102: sp and LaTeX problems

Package: sp
Version: 1.1-1

Sp can install support files for LaTeX, but has some problems with that:

  1. If LaTeX is not under /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex, nothing happens. I
     think $TEXMF should be test too, having something like:

	: ${TEXMF:=/usr/lib/texmf}
	if [ -d $TEXMF/tex/latex ]
	then
	    ...

  2. If LaTeX is found but linuxdoc-sgml has not been installed, it
     will failed to copy /usr/lib/linuxdoc-sgml/linuxdoc-sgml.sty.

  3. Because sp can be installed at anytime (it doesn't depends on
     linuxdoc-sgml or latex), I think this LaTeX installation should
     be put in an /usr/sbin/spconfig script run by the postinst script.
     If LaTeX or linuxdoc-sgml are not installed, it would be nice to
     get a message saying that whenever the two are installed the admin
     should run spconfig to get the sp support for LaTeX.

Yves.
