just my experience: - I had tetex-* installed, but not perl-tk - tried texdoctk and it told me to install perl-tk - installed texdoctk and it failed with "Couldn't open system-wide default config file texdocrc" - found this bug and did cp /usr/share/tetex-base/texdocrc /etc/texdoctk/ - now the file is there but texdotk still fails with this error! - strace texdoctk -> texdoctk asks kpsewhich for the location of this file - mktexlsr ... now everything works fine.
Why was the texdocrc file missing in the first place? Is it only installed if perl-tk is already present?
