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.
