Bug#267413: Problems with tetex-bin and debiandoc2*

[frank@kuesterei.ch (Frank Küster)]

Hi Ardo,

we have a strange bug report here about zope FTBFS'ing because of a
problem when debiandoc2ps calls latex. The original submitter has judged
that this is a bug in tetex-bin, and indeed when logging into the dchroot
on merulo.debian.org, one gets exactly the same error messages as in the
build log.

On merulo, however, I could pin down the problem to a change in the
default debconf settings of tetex-bin long ago, that have not been
accepted by the dchroot admins; when tetex-bin is installed from
scratch, the same error cannot occur.

There _is_ some error on the buildd's, however, and I do not know why.

Did you have any similar complaints? Any idea? The bug logs are at 

http://bugs.debian.org/267413, with links to the buildd's logs in the
first mail

Thanks in advance, Frank
