Package: tex-common
Version: 6.19
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just installed texlive-full and at the end when triggers were being
processed I was waiting 24 minutes at this step:
Processing triggers for tex-common (6.20)…
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time... done.
Running mktexlsr /var/lib/texmf ... done.
Building format(s) --all.
This may take some time...
It says what is being done for updmap-sys and mktexlsr but those are done
relatively quickly. For a command which takes nearly half an hour, I would've
liked to be able to read what exactly is taking such a long time. I then read
the postinst maintainer script to find out but I think I shouldn't have to. I
think if the user is waiting for something to be done for that long, they
should also get a bit more information about what is happening.
Maybe the "Building format" step can print the command that is being run in the
same way as it is already done for updmap-sys and mktexlsr?
Thanks!
cheers, josch
