Bug#334660: tetex-bin: doesn't install, can't read texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf: No such file or directory
Hallo Marc, ciao Valerio, I have found the reason for that error and fixed it in the SVN repository. It has to do with the renaming of VARTEXMF to TEXMFSYSVAR; it tried to replace this at some crucial points in the conffile, but there was a stupid error... For now, you should replace all occurences in 05TeXMF.cnf. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer

Versions of packages tetex-bin depends on:
thank you, that looks okay.
And do you think you can reproduce this bug (e.g. by going back to the
old state of the conffiles) and have the tetex-bin postinst script run
with set -x in the function sanitize_texmfcnf?

experimental. So if it is reproducible, it's probably on the system
where it occurred first.
To do so is a major effort. I will see what I can do tonight.
It would also be helpful to know which packages are installed that
depend on tetex-{base,bin,extra}, or recommend or suggest one of it.
This could help to reproduce it in a clean environment.
Regards, Frank
