Package: tex-common Version: 6.02 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 9.1
After `chattr +i /' the package fails to be configured, because it tries to create some temporary file in the root directory: > sudo LC_ALL=C dpkg --configure -a Setting up tex-common (6.02) ... /usr/sbin/update-updmap: line 252: update-tl-conffile.texmf.new: Permission denied update-updmap: cannot write to the temporary file 'update-tl-conffile.texmf.new' dpkg: error processing package tex-common (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: tex-common The comments in update-updmap before the line 252 suggests that the file should be created in the directory created in the line 234 instead, but the script does not switch to the directory.
