Bug#322002: tetex-bin relies on specific PATH



Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-5
Severity: normal


During update, I get:

   update-fmtutil has updated '/var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf'. If you want to enable
   the new formats,  you should run fmtutil (with option --all
         or --missing)
   Running fmtutil-sys. This may take some time. ...
   aleph: invalid option -- i
   usage: rsh [-nd] [-l login] host [command]
   Error: `aleph -ini  -jobname=aleph -progname=aleph *aleph.ini' failed
   Error: `tex -ini  -jobname=xmltex -progname=xmltex &latex xmltex.ini' failed

Turned out I had a link form rsh to aleph in my path, so it tried to call
my own aleph program.

The obvious fix would be to either set the PATH or specify the full path
of the program.
