Description w unruh 2016-03-28 19:27:21 CEST 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #18085 +++

Description of problem:
Dangling links found in /usr/bin 
find /bin/ -type l -follow -type l -ls
943242    4 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           64 Oct 17  2014 /bin/mkluatexfontdb -> ../../usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/luaotfload/mkluatexfontdb.lua
943271    4 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           64 Oct 17  2014 /bin/splitindex -> ../../usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/perl/splitindex.pl
943265    0 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           50 Oct 17  2014 /bin/pst2pdf -> ../../usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/pst2pdf/pst2pdf
943218    0 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           50 Oct 17  2014 /bin/e2pall -> ../../usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/tetex/e2pall.pl

all links point to non-existent files

In the case of splitindex it should probably point to 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/splitindex/splitindex.pl

In the case of pst2pdf it should point to 
../../usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/pst2pdf/pst2pdf.pl
I would guess. 

and in the case of e2pall it should probably point to 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/e2pall.pl
Note the texlive rather than tetex.

I could find no installed file that I could guess mkluatexfontdb should
point to.

Comment 2 Bruno Cornec 2016-10-01 02:16:34 CEST 
Since the latest version 20160523 I get:
$ sudo symlinks -r / | grep dangling | grep tex
$

So fixed for me now.

Fixed with release -4.
However former links won't disappear magically.
So you need to remove /usr/bin/mkluatexfontdb before install to check it won't get reinstalled.

The 3 others are fixed with update.
I'm pushing that release right now so you can test as well.
Comment 6 Bruno Cornec 2016-10-01 02:57:33 CEST
