[Bug 1446120] [NEW] bundledoc requires compress but ncompress is not listed as a dependency

 

Public bug reported:

bundledoc tries to execute:


compress is provided by the package ncompress, which is not a dependency of the texlive-extra package.

(tar -cvf - "talk" | compress > "talk".tar.Z)

EXECUTING: (tar -cvf - "talk" | compress > "talk".tar.Z)
           (BDINPUTS = "talk")
sh: 1: compress: not found
bundledoc: Inappropriate ioctl for device.  Failing command was:
        (tar -cvf - "talk" | compress > "talk".tar.Z)

It would be better if bundledoc used gzip by default, which is more
common and better supported.
