It has become a serious problem!
After those messages of error I completely uninstalled all the tetex=20
packages, the tex connected ones (lyx, texmacs, etc.) by means of=20
"apt-get remove --purge pasckage"; then - to be on the safe side - I=20
removed by hand the
/etc/texmf & /usr/share/texmf directories with their subdirs.
Reinstalling all over again tetex-2.0.2 from the official debian testing
archive via apt-get install tetex-bin again causes a problem: when=20
setting the package up debian testing complains about =A0a missing=20
configuration file under /etc/texmf (as I said this dir was removed by=20
hand by me!). In fact, I found that the configuration program of=20
tetex-bin 2.0.2-14 =A0expected an /etc/texmf/texmf/05TeXMF.cnf file that=20
actually was codified with something like /usr/share/texmf/..../05TeXMF.c=
nf in=20
the deb package.
I copied the required file under/etc/texmf/texmf/ and the configuration
complained about a missing /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf file. I found it under=20
the "usual" =A0/usr/share/texmf/.... and copied in the right position and=
=20
now the error is as follow:
Regenerating /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf ... done
update-fmtutil; Something seems wrong.
dpkg: error processing tetex-bin (--configure):
=A0 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
=A0 tetex-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Has anyone any idea on why this has been happening?
