Details

Description: would it be better to have it as just mktexlsr, allowing texlive's mktexlsr (in /opt) to be called too?

The problem will go away if and when texlive installs in /usr too...

I just have to call mktexlsr manually, but that should be unnecessary.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
latex2html-2002.2.1-1

Steps to reproduce: just install it, and unless you have tetex, /usr/bin/mktexlsr won't be found.
This task depends upon

If you are able to wait a few weeks, this problem will no longer occur with the next release of texlive (as everything will go to /usr). Still, the current texlive-bin package DOES add /opt/texlive/bin to your $PATH (in /etc/profile.d/texlive) and this file is sourced during installation. The problem is that since this occurs as a subshell instance called by pacman, it won't be active after installation unless you start a new terminal (IIRC, or at least after a new login). BTW this task should have been filed under "community packages", as it relates to texlive-bin, not latex2html.
