Bug#310321: tetex-base: Package doesn't install because of ConTeX initialization bug

[Florian Cramer <cantsin@zedat.fu-berlin.de>]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 2.0.2c-8
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading tetex-base to 2.0.2c-8 in a routine distribution upgrade
of the unstable distribution, the following error occured during package
configuration:

Error: `pdfetex -ini  -jobname=cont-en -progname=context *cont-en.ini'
failed

This makes the installation of the package fail altogether.
