Description of problem: tetex-latex-3.0-6.FC4 includes _some_ packages from preview-latex-common files. Namely: /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prauctex.cfg /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prauctex.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prcounters.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/preview.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prfootnotes.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prlyx.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prshowbox.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prshowlabels.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prtightpage.def /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/preview/prtracingall.def All of this is fine and dandy but the whole documentation is missing, including such crucial pieces like: /usr/share/info/preview-latex.info.gz /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/styles/preview.dvi and 'preview-latex.pdf' and other less critical (although COPYING indentifies that as a GPL software). Moreover the whole emacs support side is nowhere in sight making this a rather pointless exercise as "the real meat" here is on an emacs side. To make things even worse available somewhere else 'preview-latex-emacs' package requires, not very surprisingly, 'preview-latex-common'. So if you will try to install, or update, that you have a pretty good chance that you will see missing dependencies and/or conflicts. Either the whole thing should be provided or none of that stuff. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tetex-3.0-6.FC4
To make things even more "interesting" on 2005-09-25 a new version 11.81 of auctex showed up. This one includes a formerly separate 'preview' as an integral part. What is more CHANGES file now says: News in 11.81 .... * preview-latex which was previously available separately became a subsystem of AUCTeX. There is no documented provision for building or installing preview-latex separately. It is still possible to use and install AUCTeX without preview-latex, however. .... So now including into a distribution a small random subset of auctex related files makes even less sense.
Right, it seems so. preview-latex files will be removed soon.
Fixed by tetex-3.0-7.
