I tried to email Johannes but the message was bounced.
I had a look at texlive-extra.SlackBuild, and I noticed this.
At the top of the script ARCH is set thus:
and further down there's this:
Code:
# Move biber binary to $PATH
case $ARCH in
"x86_64") mv $PKG/usr/share/texmf-dist/bin/x86_64-linux/biber $PKG/usr/bin ;;
"i586") mv $PKG/usr/share/texmf-dist/bin/i386-linux/biber $PKG/usr/bin ;;
esac
rm -rf $PKG/usr/share/texmf-dist/bin
The code above (case ...) should be replaced by
Code:
#remove biber binary
rm -Rf $PKG/usr/share/texmf-dist/bin
The effect is the same, since the code between 'case' and 'esac' is
not executed.
