Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: texlive-base
Default behaviour should be that a package installed in ~/texmf should
be used instead of those in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ provided by the
system package.
( Textex seemed to act like this)
This is extremely useful behaviour since the packages in the repositories can
be out of date.
To use updated versions, currently the user must either manually change the
order that texmf directories are read (difficult to find out) or replace the
out of date files in /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ with the latest from CPAN (old
files are rewritten if packages are reinstalled or ubuntu updates)
Ubuntu 8.10 using texlive standard packages version 2007.dfsg.1-2
** Affects: texlive-base (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
