Bug#354018: multex-bin: Should use fmtutil-sys instead of fmtutil
Package: multex-bin
Version: 0.8.1-7
Severity: important
>From the postinst:
make_format()
{
target=$1
formats=/var/lib/texmf/web2c
if ( fmtutil --byfmt ${target} 1>/dev/null 2>&1 ) ; then
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexupd ${formats} ${target}.fmt
echo " The format file of \`${target}' is built successfully."
Since teTeX 3.0, fmtutil is for users, and fmtutil-sys is for system
administration. This postinst will stop working when we drop our
backwards compatibility hack (and then this bug will become RC).
If you want to make backports to sarge easy, check whether fmtutil-sys
is available and fall back to fmtutil if necessary.
Regards, Frank
