Bug#182236: sanity check: no dir, /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf



Package: tetex-bin
Severity: minor
Version: 2.0.1-1

I was messing with jadetex, creating a /etc/texmf/texmf.d/80JadeTeX
file but mistakenly put that in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf/80JadeTeX .

This caused a tetex-bin error during postinst:

  Running initex. This may take some time. ...
  /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.

I recovered by hand with:

  # rm -r /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
  # update-texmf

I would suggest that you check if /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf  is a directory
and remove it in postinst.  Not a big deal -- the bug was really mine
due to the jadetex brokenness.
