Bummer. It shouldn't call update-fmtutil at all. There are no format
specifications in texinfo.
A new package 4.8-1 is on the tug server, fixing also all the ChangeLog
entries. But, see below ...

Running several of the test I found a problem, which ATM I have no idea
how to cope with:
When I apt-get install texinfo tetex-base tetex-bin on a fresh system
(no upgrade) I get ...
with texinfo_4.7-2.2:
---------------------
unpack texinfo
unpack tetex-base
unpack tetex-bin
setup texinfo
setup tetex-base
-> create /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg
setup tetex-bin
everything alright.
dependencies:
texinfo -> nothing (only libc)
tetex-base -> texinfo, ...
tetex-bin -> tetex-base
with texinfo_4.8-1:
-------------------
unpack tetex-bin
unpack texinfo
unpack tetex-base
setup tetex-bin
-> breaks since /etc/texmf/updmap.d/00updmap.cfg is not
existent since tetex-base is not configured
Here we have
tetex-bin -> tetex-base -> texinfo -> tetex-bin (circle)
So dpkg tries to first configure tetex-bin, which breaks.
Upgrading works, but fresh install does not.
Otherwise the packages on the tug server passed several
install/remove/install/purge cycles with and without tetex-packages.
