Package: texlive-base Version: 2009-11 Severity: normal File: /etc/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf
The file /etc/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf claims that the file is not for editing, which is a policy violation on a Debian system. However, I'm quite sure it's just a wrong comment, in fact it's perfectly fine to edit it if one is the sysadmin. Therefore, I suggest the following patch to the file: --- /etc/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf.orig 2011-05-20 10:44:25.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/texmf/texdoc/texdoc.cnf 2011-05-20 10:45:57.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,8 +1,6 @@ # texdoc.cnf # -# DO NOT edit this file! -# -# For your personal or local setting, use one of the following files: +# For personal settings, use one of the following files: # (the star points to the recommended file for a user's personal settings) # TEXMFHOME/texdoc/texdoc-<arch>.cnf # (*) TEXMFHOME/texdoc/texdoc.cnf @@ -12,7 +10,8 @@ # powerpc-darwin).
