Bug#388115: tetex-base: postinst fails, can not upgrade

Hi all!

Good. So I hold my interpretation that the missing call created the
problem. Calling update-fmtutil would have recreated a fmtutil.cnf file
without any jadetex snippet included, so configuring tetex-* would have
succeeded. After this dpkg moves the .dpkg-new of jadetex to the real
file and jadetex calls update-fmtutil and builds the formats.

Is there someone who can verify this?

Best wishes

Norbert
