Bug#343104: strange error message on installing tetex-bin
Package: tetex-bin Version: 3.0-11 Severity: normal Hi, I just reinstalled tetex-bin to circumvent bug #335550 on my system. O.k. to make it short I purged tetex-bin. Afterwards I installed tetex-bin again. In tetex-bin postinst the following message is displayed: Warning: fmtutil is being run as root; fmtutil-sys should probably be used instead. If this is done by a Debian package upon installation, upgrade, or removal, please file a bug against that package. /usr/share/texmf/tex/jadetex/config/jadetex.ini Warning: fmtutil is being run as root; fmtutil-sys should probably be used instead. If this is done by a Debian package upon installation, upgrade, or removal, please file a bug against that package. So I just did as the text suggested. Don't slap me if this is not what you wanted.

This is not a but in tetex, but in jadetex.
Dear jadetex maintainers: Your postinst script is very close to work
with tetex2 and tetex3, but there was small miss:
YOu define the variable
fmtutil=fmtutil
and if fmtutil-sys is present, then you redefine it to
fmtutil=fmtutil-sys
But later on you call
fmtutil
instead of
$fmtutil
Attached patch fixes your postinst script:
Best wishes
Norbert

Arthur's consciousness approached his body as from a great
distance, and reluctantly. It had had some bad times in
there. Slowly, nervously, it entered and settled down into
its accustomed position.
Arthur sat up.
`Where am I?' he said.
`Lord's Cricket Ground,' said Ford.
`Fine,' said Arthur, and his consciousness stepped out
again for a quick breather. His body flopped back on the
grass.
