Bug#995741: latex-mk: reproducible builds: embeds path to various binaries

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: latex-mk
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: usrmerge
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The paths to various binaries are embedded which differs on a usrmerge
vs. non-usrmerge system.

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/latex-mk.html

  /usr/share/latex-mk/latex.gmk

  ECHO?=» » /bin/echo
vs.
  ECHO?=» » /usr/bin/echo

Patch attached which passes variables to configure to use the
non-usrmerge locations, as usrmerge installations typically have
compatibility symlinks, but not vice-versa.

With this patch applied, latex-mk should build reproducibly on
tests.reproducible-builds.org.

Thanks for maintaining latex-mk!

live well,
  vagrant
