Description of problem: texlive-latex contains dangling symlink ls -la /usr/bin/platex lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-06-07 17:01 /usr/bin/platex -> ptex because "/usr/bin/ptex" is not part of the texlive-latex package. The missing ptex is part of the package "texlive-east-asian". The easiest way to solve the problem would be to remove the symlink /usr/bin/platex from the texlive-latex package and put it into the texlive-east-asian package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texlive-latex-2007-30.fc9.i386
Fixed in F9 CVS and rawhide. Thanks for noticing! Fix should occur in the next series of F9 texlive updates.
I'd like to confirm that the problem is fixed in Rawhide (upcoming F10), although it is still broken in F9. Nevertheless it is a minor issue which is probably not worth a complete texlive update in F9.
Since the problem got fixed for F9 as well (Thanks!) in package: texlive-latex-2007-32.fc9.i386 I'll close this Bug.
