Bug#232725: tetex-bin: Got the same error with 2.0.2-8 and 2.0.2-9
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-9
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #232725
Hello,
I had the same problems with tetex-bin described here when
I tried to upgrade from 2.0.2-7 to 2.0.2-8.
Setting up tetex-bin hangs forever
I could work around it by creating an empty /etc/X11/app-defaults/XDvi
as described above.
I removed the empty file after the upgrade, and now with todays
upgrade to 2.0.2-9 the problem is here again.
pstree -apl reveals the following:

Don't know much about dpkg, but why is has the
tetex-bin.postinst 2.0.2-8 as parameter instead of 2.0.2-9?
Pressing enter in the installation console gives an
error:
Richte tetex-bin ein (2.0.2-9) ...

Running initex. This may take some time. ...
** Hangs forever here until pressing enter **

Hope that helps.
Thanks for Debian.
