Done with no problems to report.

I did a base woody install, installed tetex+xmltex and dist-upgraded
to sarge.  No errors on upgrade.

That might indeed not be a bad idea.  If you can please do by all means.

Does the woody upgrade need testing?

Hi,

I just build -10 and confirm that upgrades from -8 and -9 work ok, as well as
a fresh install, as well as purges after each of these.

Don, thanks again for the patches.
Roger, thanks for testing them.

Thanks,
Ardo

Don,

I tested your latest patch against -9 on sarge/i386 and sid/ppc and it
worked without problems both upgrading and installing from scratch
with a clean tetex install.  Not that this is any guarantee of
perfection, but the patch looks clean and I couldn't see any obvious
errors.


Regards,
Roger

No luck.  It reinstalled fine.

This is up-to-date unstable on powerpc.  I'll be happy to do any
further testing.

This is bug #262395, so reassigning there.

This is a serious bug as it will break all installations with the
current (testing and unstable) tetex packages.  Patch: edit
/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/templates/40xmltex.cnf to read:

xmltex  latex language.dat&latex xmltex.ini
pdfxmltex   pdflatex  language.dat&pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini

i.e., changing "tex" -> "latex" and "pdftex" to "pdflatex".

or

xmltex  etex language.dat&latex xmltex.ini
pdfxmltex   pdfetex  language.dat&pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini

The latter is better, as it works whatever the setting of latex is.

   Julian
