Bug#61995: does not configure

[Rob Mahurin <robm@mad.scientist.com>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.6-4
Severity: normal

Here is the output of /usr/bin/texconfig:

texconfig has found the following environment variables set:

 TEXMFCNF = /etc/texmf

Please make sure, their values are ok, and otherwise change or unset them.
If you continue with wrong values for the above variables, texconfig
might run into trouble when locating files on the disk.

Note that you can refer to the default path by giving an "empty" path
component (i.e. a colon in front or in the end, or a doubled colon
somewhere in the middle).

If you set TEXINPUTS, e.g. to :~/TeX/macros, (La)TeX will search along
the default path and then in ~/TeX/macros.

For more information, see the Kpathsea and the teTeX manual.

Press RETURN to continue (or Control-C to abort)...
/usr/bin/texconfig: No $TEXMFMAIN in texmf.cnf file.
/usr/bin/texconfig: set TEXMFCNF variable to the directory where teTeX's
texmf.cnf file is in.

This is where dpkg --configure hangs.
