in what package texdoc and texdoctk are?
Comment by Brice (bricem13) - Tuesday, 21 November 2006, 11:33 GMT
tetex

For texdoctk to run you need to install perl-tk. The tetex package doesn't include documentation, so installing perl-tk will only let you run texdoctk, but it wont actually work.

Is it possible to include tetex documentation into the package? When I work on LaTeX, I find myself constantly searching for something with textdoctk.

tetex is dead but this work well with the texlive packages in community.
