#25875: texcount requires both texlive-bin and texlive-bin-extra
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------

Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1
Keywords: broken symlink | Port: texlive-bin texlive-bin-extra
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
I needed to use the command-line-tool "texcount" recently and discovered
it as a symlink in the port texlive-bin. However it was a broken symlink!
It turns out, the target of the symlink is in texlive-bin-extra, which I
now have installed:
{{{
$ ls -l /opt/local/bin/texcount
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 64 Jul 29 13:16 /opt/local/bin/texcount ->
/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
$ ls -l /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 43616 May 8 2009 /opt/local/share/texmf-
texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
$ port provides /opt/local/bin/texcount
/opt/local/bin/texcount is provided by: texlive-bin
$ port provides /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-
dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl is
provided by: texlive-bin-extra
}}}
It is not clear to me how these ports are assembled, but it seems that the
symlink should belong in texlive-bin-extra, where its target exists, and
not in texlive-bin. I wonder if there are other instances like this in
the texlive-bin port.
