Bug Description

Binary package hint: texlive-base-bin

The getnonfreefonts and getnonfreefonts-sys script have a variable set to retrieve the appropriate getfonts<year> script from tug.org. In the current jaunty version, this is set to 2007, which causes e.g. 'getnonfreefonts garamond' to fail due to changes in the organization of CTAN.

Attached diff will fix it.

getnonfreefonts is now part of texlive-extra-utils, so changing package. Also, in 2009-7ubuntu3 it downloads
ftp://tug.org/tex/getnonfreefonts/getfont2009
so this bug is fixed in lucid. Thank you for taking your time to report this bug and submitting your patch, please report any other bugs you may find.
