Bug#343572: tetex-bin: v. 3.0-12 won't install, fmtutil/etex/pdfetex fails
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-12
Severity: important
(Version set to 3.0-12 manually, reportbug mistakenly said 3.0-11. Prossibly
because the installation failed.)
After having trouble with 3.0-11, I tried installing 3.0-12. I made a new bug report,
as it doesn't seem to be exactly the same as last time. After this, I can't run latex. X-(
Here's what happened:
# apt-get -t untable install tetex-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
tetex-bin is already the newest version. (My second try, now with LANG=C)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
