Bug#832570: tex-common fails to install with fmtutil error
Hi Wookey, I have again looked into this topic and couldn't find a reasonable explanation for now. I have uploaded a new set of packages today, where several internal files concerning pdftexconfig.tex as weell have been reworked. Can you please do the following: * remove /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex * install the new packages and then tell me what happens? Thanks.

I had already removed this and tried apt-get -f install. Only when
that failed did I try the above commenting-out.
This was done in a persistent chroot, so I cannot revert the state
exactly and try the experiment again, unfortunately (i.e the new
tex-common is now installed, but I guess it was the postinst failing,
so further tests should stil lbe relevant).

OK. with /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/plain/config/pdfetex.ini
restored and /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex removed,
the above commands give:

Bug#832570: tex-common fails to install with fmtutil error
Hi Wookey,
thanks for your report. THere seems something fishy, and
I can even immagine that there is a problem in the paper
handling, but somehow all this looks strange.
Firt of all, can you please send me the version number of
your packages texlive-base, too.
> l.3 \pdfoutput
> =1
This is strange, indeed.
Your pdftexconfig.tex

This looks also different to mine, but I have intermediate
not released versions installed.

No, please *remove* the file
/var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
and then try as root
mktexlsr /var/lib/texmf
fmtutil-sys --byfmt luatex
if that helps.
If no, please send me the output.
If yes, then please call
tl-paper set all a4|letter
(acording to your taste), and run
fmtutil-sys --byfmt luatex
again. Does this change anything.
All the best
Norbert
