Bug in tetex preinstall scripts



Hi!

First, sorry for my terrible english, second, I'm novice in deb.
package.
Well, I'd like to install tetex-base_1.0.2-1_all.deb and
tetex-bin_1.0.7-1_i386.deb package from woody, but the tetex-base
package stop with an error, because the preinst script return with exit
code 1. So I tried to debug, and I noticed it depend on perl, but the
apt-get didn't want to install perl. So I installed perl and then tried
install tetex again. The results was same. So I began debug preinst
script and I noticed if it was called with 'install' argument, it will
return always with error code 1 (exit 1). I rewrite it to 'exit 0' and
rebuild package, then I installed the the new package. It looks like
work properly.
If it was bug, or I made something wrong, or it was right please answer
for my e-mail.

Thanks,
   Ned

P.s.: If it wasn't understandable, I had to change preinst script of
both packages.
