Package: latex2rtf
Version: 1.1-0

This command line:
latex2rtf file.tex > file.rtf

yields this error message:
latex2rtf: ERROR: cannot open file 'fonts.cfg'

even when fonts.cfg is in the "right" place:
bash# ls -l /usr/lib/latex2rtf
total 8
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         3491 Nov  1 14:23 direct.cfg
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1201 Nov  1 14:23 fonts.cfg
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1349 Nov  1 14:23 ignore.cfg

This is probably a bug only in the sense that it doesn't force the new
user to do the right thing, whatever that is.
