This turns out to be a complete mess, with no uniformity among maintainers, so I'm on my own. The simplest way for me to handle it is to package the missing binary as part of texlive-collection-context.(*) This presumably means that the latter can no longer be a noarch package. Jon, can you (or calm) cope with a package changing from noarch to x86_64? Alternatively, I could make a completely new package, say texlive-context-bin, which contains only the binary, if you think that's better. Ken (*) It used to be contained in the texlive package, but the sources are no longer in the texlive source tree, and the build system is completely different. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Whilst a manual intervention was required in the past, this is no longer the case.
