--- Begin Message ---Package: texlive-base Version: 2009-10 Severity: normal File: /etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults In /etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdoctkrc.defaults, the default postscript viewer is ghostview, which as far as I know is not packaged in Debian. The default pdf viewer is the non-free acroread. These are specified by the following lines: # PostScript handling PS_VIEWER=ghostview # PDF handling PDF_VIEWER=acroread PDFPS_CONV=acroread PDFPS_OPTS=-toPostScript -pairs It would be better to specify free viewers which are available in Debian. E.g. # PostScript handling PS_VIEWER=gv # PDF handling PDF_VIEWER=xpdf PDFPS_CONV=pdftops PDFPS_OPTS= or using a command which starts a suitable installed viewer: # PostScript handling PS_VIEWER=xdg-open # PDF handling PDF_VIEWER=xdg-open PDFPS_CONV=pdf2ps PDFPS_OPTS= By the way, I also recommend changing the default HTML viewer to senisble-browser, e.g replace the lines # HTML handling HTML_VIEWER=firefox with # HTML handling HTML_VIEWER=sensible-browser All the best, Gábor Braun -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (650, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages texlive-base depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.4 Debian package management system ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii luatex 0.60.2-1 next generation TeX engine ii mime-support 3.44-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii tex-common 2.08 common infrastructure for building ii texlive-binaries 2009-7 Binaries for TeX Live ii texlive-common 2009-10 TeX Live: Base component ii texlive-doc-base 2009-2 TeX Live: TeX Live documentation Versions of packages texlive-base recommends: ii lmodern 2.004.1-3 scalable PostScript and OpenType f Versions of packages texlive-base suggests: ii ghostscript [postscript- 8.71~dfsg2-6 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii okular [postscript-viewe 4:4.4.5-1 document viewer for KDE ii perl-tk 1:804.028-1+b1 Perl module providing the Tk graph ii xpdf-reader [pdf-viewer] 3.02-1.4+lenny2 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui Versions of packages tex-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.15.8.4 Debian package management system ii ucf 3.0016 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages texlive-base is related to: pn tetex-base <none> (no description available) pn tetex-bin <none> (no description available) pn tetex-extra <none> (no description available) ii tex-common 2.08 common infrastructure for building -- debconf information: tex-common/check_texmf_wrong: tex-common/check_texmf_missing:
