Package: maxima-doc
Version: 5.13.0-3.1

Hi,
i am running unstable, and currently have xmaxima 5.10.0 and maxima-doc 5.13.0 .
That's what apt-get update / apt-get upgrade installed on my system
(so i assume xmaxima 5.13.0 isn't installable yet due to some dependency).

Problem is that when i try to start xmaxima from desktop menu,
it shows a dialog saying that it can't find docs in /usr/share/maxima/5.10.0
and when i click 'OK' (the only option), that's the end of it. It doesn't start.

I looked in /usr/share/maxima/5.10.0 and indeed there are no docs there.
But i do have docs in /usr/share/maxima/5.13.0 .
I added a symlink /usr/share/maxima/5.10.0/doc with target ../5.13.0/doc
and now xmaxima starts as it should on my machine :-)

So i thought you might like to know about this.

I have filed this bug against maxima-doc 5.13.0 .
It (apparently) is installable, so fixing it there would fix this bug soonest.
Probably it is a bug of xmaxima 5.10.0 (for not trying all version directories)
and very likely (since i didn't find this bug among the archived bugs either)
also exists in xmaxima 5.13.0 .

Thanks for maintaining xmaxima.
