Documentation created at package-build time is not hyphenated

Hi Frank,

Thanks for reporting this. It probably applies to all packages with
tetex as build dependency, correct? It's too late to fix this for
Dapper, given that the bug is not fixed yet.

Plus all which build-depend on debiandoc-sgml, linuxdoc-latex, and maybe
others - minus the ones that never got rebuild since the bug was introduced.

Which is what I don't understand: It has been fixed in Debian (with
urgency=high) the day before it was reported in Ubuntu. And the fix is
a one-character-change:

--- tetex-base.language.list (revision 1077)
+++ tetex-base.language.list (revision 1078)
@@ -1 +1 @@
-00tetex
+10tetex

Since a fix had been released for the bug which this bug is a consequence off, am I correct in assuming that the status of this one should be changed to "fix released" also ?

No idea. I know neither whether or when the fixed package reached
Ubuntu, nor whether the buggy documentation has been rebuilt since
then. Nor do I have a clue regarding the policy of bug closing in
Ubuntu (whether there's any manual or automatic version tracking or
such).

I opened the bug because I hoped that Ubuntu cared about the appearance
of their non-english documentation and didn't want to release which such
a catastrophic typography. I also hoped that someone among the Ubuntu
developers would take the task to follow debian-bugs-rc or similar, and
add such simple, but important fixes in the future.

Could you try and check any of the documentation which made you file the bug in the first place, and see if the problem still persist.

Sorry, I didn't look at any specific documentation. The reason why I
filed the bug was that some Ubuntu user complained to the mailing list
of the Debian TeX maintainers that hyphenation didn't work at all, and
we found out that Ubuntu didn't have that bug fixed (although it was
very old).

Since it seemed the Ubuntu people were not aware that this did/does not
only affect users that use TeX, but their complete infracstructure for
building documentation, I also filed this bug. But I have better things
to do than digging through documentation for packages I'm not interested
in in a distribution that uses my work, but in this case doesn't do it
in a way that I'd call "properly".

Regards, Frank

Ok. I'll continue to work on it.
I regret that you feel that your work is not being used properly I hope we can do better in the future. I'm just trying to do my part by helping out with these bugs, and noticed that this had been quiet for some time.
Once again thank you for filing the bug.
Regards TLE

I have now checked the changelogs of tetex-base and the fix that fixes bug 36145 is in the current package, (tetex-base is version 3.0-19 i Edgy), and was also released as an update for Dapper. And so since that bug has been fixed I must assume that this one is too. So I'm changing the status to fix released.
