Bug#65432: tetex-bin: kpsewhich cannot find file fmtutil.cnf

["Robert J. Chassell" <bob@rattlesnake.com>]

   At least please tell me the results after (failed) installation;

   ls -l /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf
   ls -l /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
   ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/web2c
   ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

     and also the result of 

     kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf


Here are the results *after* the (failed) installation of tetex-bin.

Note that kpsewhich only gets a result when I give it the absolute
path to fmtutil.cnf.


  # dpkg -s tetex-bin

  #    ls -l /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf

  #    ls -l /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root     22 Jun 12 09:51 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -> /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf

  #    ls -ld /usr/share/texmf/web2c
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root     20 Jun 12 10:17 /usr/share/texmf/web2c -> /var/lib/texmf/web2c

  #    ls -l /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root     22 Jun 12 09:51 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -> /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf


     and also the result of 

     kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf

Nothing!

  #  kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf
  #

But kpsewhich exists;

  # type kpsewhich
  kpsewhich is hashed (/usr/bin/kpsewhich)

So I try it with an absolute path, and and we get a result:

     #  kpsewhich --format='web2c files' /etc/fmtutil.cnf
    /etc/fmtutil.cnf
