This is exactly the warning about the backward compatibility hack that we introduced. Just ignore it for the time being, but keep in mind that as soon as tetex-3.0 enters testing, you should switch from fmtutil to fmtutil-sys. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f.

If you do not use fmtutil-sys, you don't need a specific versioned Depends - the bug was already a bug with tetex-2.0.2, but then its impact was only minor. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f.

I'm done with all the fixes but when installing I'm getting the following message: 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. How do we handle this?

Regarding my patch, I thought about it and there is one change I would rather revert: The change from calling fmtutil to fmtutil-sys. We have temporarily introduced a backward-compatibility hack, so that fmtutil will continue to work for a while. On the other hand, fmtutil-sys is not available in the teTeX version in testing. I suggest to stay with plain fmtutil, let xmltex (and all other packages that needed fixes for teTeX-3.0) migrate to testing, and then I'll remove tetex-base's dummy bug and let itself go into testing.

I can NMU this package - or rather I will NMU it; with a 3-day delay if you don't answer, and without delay if you give me your okay. I'll use the patch already supplied, just the changelog entry will be adjusted and close #33, too. Looking forward to hearing from you, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
