Re: Lost /bin/latex?

[Igor Pechtchanski <pechtcha at cs dot nyu dot edu>]

This is probably due to the fact that usr/bin/readlink.exe and
usr/man/man1/readlink.1 were included (erroneously, I guess) in the
tetex-bin-20020530-3 distribution, instead of listing a dependency on
cygutils.  The new distrib corrects that problem, but uninstalling the old
one resulted in losing readlink.  As this is not something that can be
fixed in the tetex package, people will probably just have to reinstall
cygutils.

For the future, it would probably be a good idea to have the output of the
postinstall scripts logged somewhere (setup.log.full?).  Is setup.exe
responsible for running the scripts?

Also, for the package builder, it might be nice to get a warning if there
are file clashes in some packages.  This is probably more of a
challenge...
