Bug#66167: tetex-bin: install failed in preinst
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7-1
Severity: important
I was trying to install this package and it failed in the preinst
script. The only message I got said simply that the preinst script had
returned 1. I went in and looked at the script and it appears that the
script will always fail (by returning 1) when you are trying to
install it for the first time. I changed the last line of the file
from "exit 1;" to "exit 0;" and it installed fine. Hope this will
help.
