Description markusN 2013-11-01 09:21:25 UTC
Description of problem:

yum install texlive-pstools-bin

leads to ps2eps being a broken symbolic link to a non-existant perl script.

[neteler@oboe ~]$ ls -la /usr/bin/ps2eps
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 54 Nov  1 10:00 /usr/bin/ps2eps -> /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/ps2eps/ps2eps.pl

[neteler@oboe ~]$ ls -la /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/ps2eps/ps2eps.pl
ls: cannot access /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/ps2eps/ps2eps.pl: No such file or directory

Solution:

The ps2eps.pl perl script is part of the texlive-pstools RPM, hence
a dependency should just be added to texlive-pstools-bin so that 

 yum install texlive-pstools-bin 

additionally installs the texlive-pstools RPM.

(OT but not too much)

The same applies to texlive-epstopdf-bin which requires
texlive-epstopdf as a dependency.
