Package: tetex-base
Version: 3.0-19
Severity: normal
Due to some problems on my machine I had to install tetex-bin manually
with dpkg -i tetex-bin_... . During the configure step I got the error
that some of the formats can't be built. In the refered file in /tmp I
found the following lines:
fmtutil: running `pdfetex -ini -jobname=amstex -progname=amstex
-translate-file=cp227.tcx *amstex.ini' ...

No pages of output.
Transcript written on amstex.log.
The reason for this is that I started the dpkg job in /usr/bin , so that
the amstex binary was included instead of the amstex-TeX-file.
Please make sure that pdfetex is started in a proper directory (e.g.
the direcorty of all the templates) despite of the directory dpkg is
started. Using apt-get -f install to configure tetex-base on the other
hand works normally.
I read the following instructionscaregfully, but I'm sorry, I don't add
other files, because none files will help you ;-)
-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!
If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)
or
http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german)

Changes:
tetex-bin (3.0-18) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Fix stupid error in the postinst script, thanks to Martin Pitt
<martin.pitt@ubuntu.com> (closes: #376117) [frank]
* Fix dangling symlink of mfw.base, thanks to Ian Zimmerman
<nobrowser@gmail.com> (closes: #377093) [frank]
* Remove tetex-base from Build-Depends. Yes, it's actually not needed!
It was probably there because the upstream README says that the texmf
tarball must be unpacked first; but this is because upstream creates
the formats with "make install". Funny that nobody ever noticed this
for years... [frank]
* Refresh common.functions.in from tex-common.
create_tetex_formats() now runs fmtutil-sys in a temporary directory
(closes: #377997). [florent]
* Updated Maintainer field to use new mailing list [jdg]
