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. |

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.
