Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-19
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hello,
When I run latex on a file, it will not even run because required
config files are not found. Example:
$ latex joint_estimation_paper.tex
This is e-TeX, Version 3.14159-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.efmt
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
I can't find the format file `latex.efmt'!
If I fun 'mktexfmt latex.efmt' manually, it gives the error:
$ mktexfmt latex.efmt
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
If I run mktexfmt with 'bash -x' (since it is a shell script) it seems
that the issues stems from the fact that the following command returns
no result:
$ kpsewhich '--format=web2c files' fmtutil.cnf
$
However, fmtutil.conf does exist, at this location:
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
So, perhaps kpsewhich is messed up, or the mktexfmt script has not
noticed that files have moves to /var/lib/texmf ?
-BenRI
P.S I have marked this bug as grave, because it makes latex unusable on
my system. If this is in fact NOT a problem for everybody, then please
forgive my exxageration.
P.P.S. Also, not that the version in testing (which was, I think.
tetex-bin v2.0.2-15) worked OK. Also, tetex-base and tetex-extra were,
I think, revision -9 in testing.

Changes:
tetex-bin (2.0.2-20) unstable; urgency=high
.
* All closed bugs but the debconf translation are RC, and the first is
also in sarge, hence the urgency.
* Back in 2.0.2-4.2, and again in -17, the default answers to some
debconf questions were changed. Because of this, we have to show them
again once more - thanks to Pierre Machard <pmachard@debian.org>
(closes: #267664, see also #267413) [frank]
* Make sure that VARTEXMF really gets set in texmf.cnf, and that
language.dat is really fixed, thanks to Hilmar [frank]
* Do not create or mangle font cache directories, this is done in
tetex-base (closes: #248308, see also: #267413 and #267896) [frank]
* Translations:
- updated french debconf translation by debian-l10n-french and
