Bug Description

ttf2afm is missing from the tex-live packages. This is a regression since it is included included in tetex. The tex-live cd does include this aplication.

The reason the this might not be included is due to some dfsg thing, i think it is free software though, so ubuntu shouldn't have the same distribution restrictions

Hi all!
I am the Debian maintainer and wanted to comment on this. In the tpm2deb.cfg the following comment can be found:
# collection psutils and ttfutils die, should be proper debian packages
But you are right that this is a regression. I think we should include ttfutils for the time being until we have a proper Debian package.

BTW, please forward bugs to the Debian BTS if it applies to us, too.

Best wishes

Norbert

Hi all!
This will be fixed in the next version of the texlive-bin package in Debian (-8). Don't know when it will come out, and don't know when it will be in ubuntu, but the fixes are already checked in into the svn repository.

Bye
Norbert
