Bug#244601: tetex-bin: package fails to configure: Error: `mpost -ini -jobname=metafun -progname=mpost metafun.mp' failed
Hi Branden,
as I said, although my system was not as messed up as yours is (or was),
I also had this seem-to-be-leftover file from tetex-extra_1.0.2. I found
this out when I wanted to purge all packages populating /usr/share/texmf
for some test, and remove that directory completely.
In my case, the files in /usr/share/texmf/metapost/context/ were the
only leftovers that had no easy explanation. It would be great if you
could check whether you have any more files in there that are
unregistered. I am not sure whether any tools exist for this - I could
write some scripts but wouldn't want to reinvent the wheel.
As for the other problems - could you send us an ls -l of that directory
that should be a symlink, /usr/share/texmf/web2c/?
Regards, Frank
