Subject: Latex2html missing perl-doc depend
Date: Thu, 07 Sep 2006 16:09:02 -0700
User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 (X11/20060728)

Package: latex2html
Version: 2002-2-1-20050114-4
Severity: minor

latex2html package lists perl-doc as a suggested package and allows
installation without perl-doc. However, installed latex2html will not
run without perl-doc and issues the following error message before
exiting:

You need to install the perl-doc package to use this program.

Thus, perl-doc should likely be a depend for latex2html installation.
