Hi,

sys-apps/texinfo installs scripts texi2dvi, texi2pdf etc. which are
not functional because the necessary dependencies on TeX are missing.

Therefore aballier and myself propose to introduce a new-style virtual
which will pull in the necessary dependencies:
   - texi2dvi script -> sys-apps/texinfo
   - working TeX installation -> virtual/latex-base
   - texinfo.tex -> dev-texlive/texlive-texinfo, or one of the
     monolithic TeX packages

See bug 230473 [1] for more details.

If there are no major objections, I'll add the new virtual next week.

Ulrich
