Thank you for the hint.  Is there an isolated patch?  You know, even if
it wouldn't contradict Debian's customs, we wouldn't be able to
incorporate a new version of the kpathsea library in Debian etch's teTeX
- not enough manpower to do the work.

Besides that, texlive-2005 is also in etch.  I think it's a bug that it
does not use the shared libkpathsea library, but its own version of
kpathsea statically linked.  But in this case it's a feature:  The path
expansion works when you install texlive instead of teTeX.

Regards, Frank
