missing pdfjam binaries from texlive-bin

Hello,

with

# pacman -S pdfjam

pacman installs texlive-bin but this package is missing the pdfjam and pdfjoin executables.

The man pages are there, though:

$ pacman -Ql texlive-bin | grep 'pdfjam\|pdfjoin'
texlive-bin /usr/share/man/man1/pdfjam-pocketmod.1.gz
texlive-bin /usr/share/man/man1/pdfjam-slides3up.1.gz
texlive-bin /usr/share/man/man1/pdfjam-slides6up.1.gz
texlive-bin /usr/share/man/man1/pdfjam.1.gz
texlive-bin /usr/share/man/man1/pdfjoin.1.gz

Should I file a bug or I am missing something?

Re: missing pdfjam binaries from texlive-bin

It is in texlive-core:

bp:~$ locate pdfjam | grep bin
/usr/bin/pdfjam
/usr/bin/pdfjam-pocketmod
/usr/bin/pdfjam-slides3up
/usr/bin/pdfjam-slides6up
bp:~$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/pdfjam
/usr/bin/pdfjam is owned by texlive-core 2011.23170-1

No idea why it wants to install texlive-bin. Is your mirror up to date? The current pdfjam 2.06-1 package lists texlive-core as dependency.
