Bug#134186: tetex-base: /var/spool/texmf/pk not created on fresh install
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20011202-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I recently installed woody from scratch on a system, and discovered
that latex2html (for example) didn't work properly. After digging
around, I discovered that the directories under /var/spool/texmf had
not been created during the install. These directories do exist on my
woody systems that had been upgraded from potato. I created the
directories, with root ownership and permissions 1777 and then
everything worked fine. I'm not sure which tetex package this bug
should be filed against; I apologize if I guessed wrong.
