[patch] support non-default LOCALBASE

If LOCALBASE is defined to be something other than /usr/local, texlive-base fails at configure time:

 .
 .
checking whether the c++ linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... freebsd10.3 ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether ln -s works... yes
configure: You requested to build `web2c' using an installed `kpathsea' version,
configure:     which requires to locate the <kpathsea/paths.h> header file.
configure: error: Sorry, not found under any of: /usr/include /usr/local/include *****

Maintainer timeout?

I created an update-to-2017 patch (see #211997). I think would be better to update to 2017 and check this bug. But no reaction for two months :(
Could you add #211997 to "Depends on" please?
Comment 3 John Hein 2018-04-18 03:55:51 UTC
Fixing this problem does not depend on updating.  The fix here can be applied independently (i.e., before any update while waiting for it to land, or after - likely with a refresh to the patch).  But I noted the update in 'See Also'.

Maintainer reset.

Hi John,
