Bug#264043: jadetex fails to install.
On a clean install of tetex-bin 2.0.2-16 you get:
Running initex. This may take some time. ...
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/latex.fmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/pdflatex.fmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/pdftex.fmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/tex.fmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/elatex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/etex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mptopdf.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/pdfelatex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/pdfetex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mf.base installed.
It created a latex.fmt.
Now when upgrading (or installing) 2.0.2-17 you get this instead:
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex.fmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/tex.fmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/elatex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/etex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/latex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/mptopdf.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfelatex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdflatex.efmt installed.
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/mf.base installed.
Note that it now created a latex.efmt instead of latex.fmt. Same
thing for pdflatex.fmt and pdflatex.efmt.
This causes things like jadetex fail to install because it's
searching for latex.fmt isntead of latex.efmt.
When installing jadetex you get:
Checking for TeX memory dumps (.fmt) ...
WARNING: memory dump latex.fmt not found, attempting to
reconstruct ...
fmtutil: /var/lib/texmf/web2c/latex.efmt installed.
ERROR: cannot create TeX memory dump latex.fmt
