What is your /bin/sh ? Is it bash or something else?

If it is bash then the package might be broken.  Try to get 
another tetex-bin package from another site and try to install it.

BTW, in my case, postinst showed as follows;

=======================
nsx:/home/kohda# sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-bin.postinst configure 1.0.7+20021025-6
+ set -e
+ '[' configure '!=' configure ']'
+ . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
++ '[' '!' '' ']'
++ exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-bin.postinst configure 1.0.7+20021025-6
Regenerating /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf ... done
Regenerating /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf ... done
Running initex. This may take some time. ...
Output of initex is in /tmp/texURuJZR


If you want to change the default settings,
use /usr/bin/texconfig to configure teTeX.

Fixing permissions and group of ls-R as specified by debconf ...
