[Nix-dev] man and texlive

[Vladimír Čunát]

Hi,
I also run into the problem that texlive-core installs a bad script
shadowing man.

It creates a script in /bin that only redirects into
$out/libexec/i686-pc-linux-gnu/man, but that is a directory and it
doesn't make any sense anyway (in my opinion).
I quickly skimmed the generating expression and it seem that the file
is created by a for-cycle on lines 49-52.

The issue is no big problem for me, but it is a bug nevertheless and
it should be fixed at some point.
I also don't understand why are the binaries moved from /bin to /libexec.

Thanks
