Bug#123393: tetex-bin: when /var/lib/texmf/ls-R is 0 bytes long cron job gives error and can't fix
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-1
Severity: normal
Cron gives the following error:
/etc/cron.daily/tetex-bin:
mktexlsr: /var/lib/texmf/ls-R lacks magic string. Skipping...
I think that the /etc/cron.daily/tetex-bin script should check for a 0 byte
file (caused by disk getting full at the wrong time) and remove it before
running /usr/bin/mktexlsr to avoid this problem.
