Bug#232056: tetex-base: problem generating mf.base after upgrade

["Pascal A. Dupuis" <Pascal.Dupuis@esat.kuleuven.ac.be>]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2-5.1
Severity: normal

Hello, 

after upgrading tetex-base, I start getting strange messages about
problems generating font. I finally realised that mf.base
(/var/lib/texmf/web2c/mf.base) was empty. Running texconfig
regenerated a fresh one and solved this. So, maybe that the
install/upgrade procedure should take care of verifying this file is
not empty ?

Best regards

Pascal Dupuis
