Bug#352373: Patch

2006-02-12 Thread Patrick Pletscher
Attached a patch that should document the --scale option.

However this is the first time I play around with man-pages and sgml, so
apply it with caution.

By the way: thanks for the maintenance of this useful package.

Bug#352373: pdfnup: document --scale in man page

2006-02-11 Thread Patrick Pletscher
Package: pdfjam
Version: 1.20-2
Severity: minor

Hi all,

While testing pdfnup, I stumbled over an undocumented option (which
helps to resolve the problems with pages extending to the very right,
see #276275 and #276274). While the option --scale is documented in
pdfnup --help, there is no entry for it in the man page. Would be nice
if it would be as well documented in the man page...

Best regards,
Patrick

Bug#335413: unison uses hardcoded /usr/bin/unison, which is not available

2005-10-24 Thread Patrick Pletscher
Hi,

I think the same oddness applies also to unison-gtk. After purging
unison-gtk and reinstalling, /usr/bin/unison-gtk doesn't exist here. If
I run update-alternatives --auto unison-gtk, as you've suggested, the
symlink is created.

Regards and thanks a lot.
Patrick

No, Root1 and Root2 are not on the same machine, but both machines run
the latest version of unsion from unstable. I'm syncing via ssh.

I just did a

apt-get remove --purge unison
rm /usr/bin/unison (which I created manually)
apt-get install unison

If I run an ls -al /usr/bin/unison

ls: /usr/bin/unison: file or directory not found (this is translated,
don't know whether this is exactly what there would be written in
English).

Wow, great. Now I have a /usr/bin/unison, so this really helped. But why
do I need to run this manually?

Thanks a lot for your help, it is really appreciated...

Bug#335413: unison uses hardcoded /usr/bin/unison, which is not available

2005-10-23 Thread Patrick Pletscher
Package: unison
Version: 2.13.16-2

After upgrading unison I only have /usr/bin/unison-2.13.16
and /usr/bin/unison-latest-stable installed, but no /usr/bin/unison. But
unison expects a symlink with name unison in /usr/bin on Root 2 so that
the syncing works. When trying to sync I get an error: "bash: unison:
command not found". Creating a symlink on root 2 solves the problem.

Sorry for the lack of support for fixing this bug. I switched back to
the tetex 2.* packages from unstable in June, as I had to finish a
semesterthesis.

That said, I just installed the 3.0-tetex packages from experimental
(tetex-extra is 3.0.7) and everything works like a charm. So I think you
can close this bug.

Thanks for fixing this problem and I guess the next time I subscribe to
the list, so that I can give responses, if needed...

Patrick

Bug#316952: tetex-bin: Type 1 fonts are not used by default

2005-07-04 Thread Patrick Pletscher
Subject: tetex-bin: Type 1 fonts are not used by default
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-4
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental

As mentioned yesterday on the mailing list I think I found a bug in
tetex-bin (or a related package) in experimental. Until 3.0-3 the
default behaviour of pdflatex for the KOMA classes (I guess the same
applies for other documentclasses as well) was to use T1 fonts, if
possible and not manually selected otherwise. As of installing 3.0-4 I
get documents which use T3 fonts. To reproduce you can use for example
the following test document.

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\begin{document}

\title{test}
\author{test}

\maketitle

\end{document}

Regards, Patrick
