Bug#970838: texlive-base: bibtex manpage clash with texlive-binaries
Package: texlive-base
Version: 2020.20200804-3
Severity: normal
I noticed the following update-alternatives warnings when upgrading to
the latest texlive-binaries version (sorry for the German):
,----
| texlive-binaries (2020.20200327.54578-5) wird eingerichtet ...
| update-alternatives: Warnung: Neuinstallation der Alternative /usr/bin/bibtex.original ist erzwungen, weil Linkgruppe bibtex defekt ist
| update-alternatives: Warnung: /usr/share/man/man1/bibtex.1.gz wird nicht durch einen Link ersetzt
`----
I seems to me that this is an unintended consequence of the fix for
#970477, and that the bibtex manpage should not be shipped in
texlive-base because it is set up as an alternative by texlive-binaries.
