Bug#196027: tetex-bin: defaults and/or update-{texmf,fmtutil} break jadetex install
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-4.1
Severity: normal
The defaults for tetex-bin are to not manage files with update-texmf and
update-fmtutil. This seems to break the install of jadetex. The
symbolic link check at the beginning of the scripts cause them to exit
early. This leaves the system in a state such that jadetex can't be
installed. The tail end of jadetex Bug#183285 has a failure log. If
this is a jadetex issue please post a suggest fix to Bug#183285
Running the the scripts by hand or allowing tetex-bin to manage the
config files will allow jadetex to install properly. However this
failure will still occur for in fresh pbuilder chroots.
