Details

Description:
The `splitindex` symlink points to the wrong place in [texlive-latexextra 2012.29701-1]


Additional info:
The `splitindex` symlink points to:

$ ls -al /usr/bin/splitindex
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 4 jui 11:02 /usr/bin/splitindex -> /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/perl/splitindex.pl

That can also be verified in the PKGBUILD line #58 (https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/texlive-latexextra&id=daaba93eab768dd73bd1ebd7e558115e5a84ce9c#n58)

But the package doesn't provide this file:

$ pacman -Ql texlive-latexextra | grep splitindex
texlive-latexextra /usr/bin/splitindex
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/splitindex.pl
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/splitindex.tlu
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/splitindex_main.tlu
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/splitindex/
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/splitindex/splitindex.tex
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/splitindex/
texlive-latexextra /usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/splitindex/splitidx.sty

It seems that the location has changed upstream since the previous release. Changing line 58 in PKGBUILD from
ln -s /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/perl/splitindex.pl "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/splitindex
to
ln -s /usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/splitindex.pl "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/splitindex
seems to solve the bug (tried on ABS)


Steps to reproduce:
Try to call `splitindex` from command line with [texlive-latexextra 2012.29701-1]:
$ splitindex
zsh: no such file or directory: /usr/bin/splitindex

Please check that it's fixed in the TeXLive 2013 packages. The texlive 2012 packages will be gone in a few days.
