Re: TeX packages
Hi everyone,
I am the one who implemented triggers for tex-common, one of the maintainers.

Can you provide a log showing what went wrong in your case?

As Hauke said, updmap and mktexlsr is already handled by triggers.
And all TeX related packages I know of already use dh_installtex
so they should be using trigger, too.
Sometimes we *have* to run these commands out of trigger sequenece
right in the postinst, esp when formats are concerned.
With TL2011 updmap runs will be *MUCH* faster as we switched to
a perl script that runs in a fraction of the time of the old
shell script.
Best wishes
