Package: texlive-base
Version: 2017.20170629-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texdoctk/texdoctk.pl

Dear Maintainer,

I started texdoctk from the command line, a dialog popped out stating

    Couldn't open system-wide default config file texdocrc.defaults

and the only possible action consisted in a button that, clicked, closed
the program.

The problem lies in the following line, line 73 in /usr/bin/texdoctk

    my $sysrc=`kpsewhich --progname=texdoctk --format=${qq}other text 
files${qq} ${TeXDocRcDefaults}`;

When I try, from the command line, the equivalent(?) command

    $ kpsewhich --progname=texdoctk --format='other text files' 
texdocrc.defaults

all I get is nothing, i.e., kpsewhich cannot tell the location of
texdocrc.defaults file (it's in /etc/texmf/texdoctk/texdocrc.defaults
but you know that).

As a temporary measure I simply hardwired the actual location of the
configuration file into the executable script, because I have always
kept myself away from everything kpathsea related ...

Thank you in advance,
                                                                      gb
