Bug#182744: tetex-bin: strange error message from xdvi-wrapper on every dvi-file

["Frank Küster" <frank@kuesterei.ch>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: minor

On opening any dvi-File, xdvi says:

Warning: Cannot convert string "" to type Boolean

This must originate from the wrapper perl script, since calling
xdvi.real does not lead to that (or any) message. Note that while my
system is essentially woody with some backports (Adrian Bunk's as well
as some from OpenOffice), this problem has been there with woody's
tetex-bin and has stayed with my own backports of tetex-bin-2.0.1

Thanks, Frank
