Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2c-6
Severity: minor

Hello,

whenever I upgrade tetex via `sudo apt-get upgrade` it creates the file
${HOME}/texmf/ls-R with owner=root and mode 600:

The problem here is, that 

a) sudo doesn't unset HOME (which is for most cases a good behaviour)
b) mktexlsr obiously uses ${HOME}/texmf and is not affected by umask[1]

(I'm not sure, if b) alone is already a bug.)

When I add HOME to the envvars that are unset'ed at the top of
tetex-base.postinst, this file is not created.

I noticed the problem, because xdvi (among others) beweils, that it cannot read
this file.

Regards
Uwe
