Bug#123233: Metapost (makempx) broken

[Meik Hellmund <Meik.Hellmund@itp.uni-leipzig.de>]

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-1

When I try to use mpost, I get 

/usr/bin/makempx: Command failed: mpto -tex a.mp
/usr/bin/mpto: /usr/bin/mpto.exe: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/mpto: exec: /usr/bin/mpto.exe: cannot execute: No such file or
directory

A look at /usr/bin/mpto  gives the impression to me, that something went wrong
during the build process:

$cat /usr/bin/mpto
#! /bin/sh
# Generated Thu Dec  6 10:18:05 CET 2001 by ../../klibtool.
# Do not install this wrapper script.
# It's only here to enable running mpto
# before it's installed.  (Use ../../klibtool install-progs to install it.)

if test -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/bunk/Debian/tetex/tetex-bin-1.0.7+20011202/texk/web2c/mpware/../../kpathsea/SHARED"
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/bunk/Debian/tetex/tetex-bin-1.0.7+20011202/texk/web2c/mpware/../../kpathsea/SHARED:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

thisdir=`echo $0 | sed 's%/[^/]*$%%'`
test "x$thisdir" = "x$0" && thisdir=.

exec $thisdir/mpto.exe "$@"
$



In older versions of tetex-bin, mpto was a binary.
