There is some weird setting of $IFS under the conditions when the postinst is run. >> Second: Replace the first line by "#!/bin/sh -x", call fmtutil again >> and post the output (will be sent to stderr). > > --- > Setting up tetex-bin (2.0.2-25) ... This is from "dpkg --configure -a" as root, or which command did you call? [...] > + OIFS= , > + IFS= The code behind this is: OIFS=$IFS IFS=' ' set `echo x; sed '/^#/d; /^[ ]*$/d' "$cnf_file"`; shift IFS=$OIFS So this means that your original setting of IFS must contain a comma (instead of something sane, i.e. a combination of space, tab and possibly newline).
