package installation fails with teTeX 3.0
Package: xmltex
Version: 1.9-10
Severity: normal
Hi,
Your package fails to install, when one has teTeX 3.0 from
experimental installed:
Setting up xmltex (1.9-10) ...

dpkg: error processing xmltex (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
xmltex
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The cause is your code, which checks if the formats have been
created. It assumes (pdf)TeX to generate a file called
(pdf)xmltex.efmt if the e-TeX engine is used. That was changed in
teTeX 3.0 and there exists only (pdf)xmltex.fmt.

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (format=pdflatex 2005. 9.11) 16 SEP 2005 20:24
This bug will become RC as soon as teTeX 3.0 hits unstable. The
upload will be done as soon as the RMs allow the next big
transition[TM].

Hilmar
