I don't agree; note the `-a' argument (I'm using bash 2.05; YMMV).
For example:
$ type -a vi
vi is aliased to `/sw/bin/vim'
vi is /usr/bin/vi

I was too quick on the trigger last night, and blew away the old
.deb file. But I just rebuilt and reinstalled tetex-base, and now
I have the missing commands:
$ type -a pdflatex
pdflatex is aliased to `pdftex -progname pdflatex'
pdflatex is /sw/bin/pdflatex
$ dpkg -S 'bin*pdf*tex'
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdftex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdfinitex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdfevirtex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdflatex <-- look!
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdfeinitex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdfelatex <-- look!
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdfetex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdfvirtex
$ dpkg -S 'bin*latex'
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pslatex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/elatex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdflatex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/latex
tetex-base: /sw/bin/pdfelatex
$
I'll lose that extra alias now.
I have no idea what the significant difference difference between
the two builds is: I upgraded to Jaguar Friday night, and my
500MHz PowerMac G4 has been downloading and building pretty much
non-stop ever since then (thank goodness for DSL!). My computer
was wickedly fast when I got it three years ago....
Thanks Dave and JF,
Dan
