Re: Bug#61979: tetex-bin: tetex-bin fails in postinst process



Sorry for having taken so long to answer.

Isn't /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf part of tetex-bin? I didn't touch it. Anyway,
fmtutil --missing gives nothing after quite a while of thinking (on my
really slow machine).
To say it again, fmtutil will end much, much quicker when using `set -e',
namely with an exit status of 1 just after the test for sh5. Normally this
script is okay, but when it's executed with `set -e' it fails. Since `set
-e' is used in the installation scripts, they failed - silently.
