[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#526582: kile: Provides empty path when executing external programs

[Rodrigo Chandia]

Package: kile
Version: 1:2.1.0~svn949704-1
Severity: normal


Trying to execute ViewDVI gives an error as if kpsewhich were not installed or in the
path.

Upon further examination it appears that the enviroment does not provide a PATH variable.

forcing kile to execute an script that provides a minimal PATH variable containing /usr/bin (and then executes okular) provides a temporary fix.
