Bug#344538: hardware problems on sarti (was: build problems on sarti)
Hi,
since I didn't receive Bdale's mail, I'm answering to Martin-Éric's answer:

The file is in the tex-common deb, and since tetex-base depends on
tex-common, tex-common should not only be unpacked, but even configured.

How should that happen? Surprised I find that Policy does not specifiy
what should be in the PATH, but /usr/sbin for sure will, and Policy
specifically says that maintainer scripts should call executables
without prepending a path.

Since tex-common is an arch: all package, this would happen on *every*
host - and tetex-base can be installed fine even on hppa machines other
than sarti's debbuild chroot.
If you show me the error in the (te)TeX packages that cause this, I'll
be glad to fix it; but currently it doesn't seem as if there was any -
just a buildd with messy hardware (or whatever) and no communication
from the admins.
As it stands, I'm going to downgrade all FTBFS-on-sarti bugs reported
against my packages to important unless they *really* look like
arch-specific.
Regards, Frank
