Subject: bug#7994: make distcheck fails when latex is not installed
Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2011 23:20:01 +0100

In a package with a texinfo file, distcheck fails when LaTeX is not
installed.  Instead, it should exit 63(?).

The fact that distcheck runs 'make dvi' is not documented.

(From Jose; please correct me if I cited this wrongly now.)

Thanks,
Ralf
