Starting with auctex Debian version 11.86-9, AUCTeX recommends xpdf | evince | evince-gtk instead of xpdf | pdf-viewer and by default makes use of Evince if installed, falling back to xpdf otherwise.
Rationale: upstream release 11.86 supports Evince and xpdf as pdf viewers (next upstream release will add Okular support), choosing Evince by default; the Debian package recommends xpdf first because of its lower footprint. While gv, viewpdf.app and zathura would be fine PDF viewers, there is no explicit upstream support for them (think about TeX-Source-Correlate mode), therefore the maintainer believes that users wishing to make use of them should manually customize TeX-view-predicate-list and TeX-view-program selection, possibly contributing their customization upstream afterwards. I will close this bug after catering for a proper error message if the user issues a View command while in PDF mode without any PDF viewer installed. I confirm severity normal rather than minor because of this. -- Ciao, Davide -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
