Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-8.0.sarge1
Severity: normal
If one uses updmap-sys with --synctrees or --edit (and possible other
options), updmap-sys creates a new updmap.cfg in TEXMFSYSCONFIG/web2c.
With Debian, this is /usr/share/texmf/web2c, ie, TEXMFMAIN/web2c. While
update-updmap creates updmap.cfg in TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c. With Debian this
is /var/lib/texmf/web2c.
The default search path is
$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFSYSVAR,$TEXMFMAIN
Hence normally the file in TEXMFSYSCONFIG/TEXMFMAIN is shadowed by the
file in TEXMFSYSVAR. However, updmap-sys sets
TEXMFCONFIG=TEXMFSYSCONFIG (=TEXMFMAIN on Debian)
TEXMFVAR=TEXMFSYSVAR
Effectively TEXMFMAIN comes before TEXMFSYSVAR for updmap-sys. This is
bad and difficult to debug, since kpsewhich would still list the file in
TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c.
The ideal solution would probably be if we were able to use a real,
separate TEXMFSYSCONFIG (=/etc/texmf?). For the time being it /might/
work to set TEXMFSYSCONFIG=TEXMFVAR (with appropriate symlinks), but I
am not sure.
An other solution might be to disable all dangerous options of
updmap(-sys). I am not sure if it is possible to use the things from
'debianize-updmap' here.
texconfig-sys and fmtutil-sys might cause similar problems.

Changes:
tetex-bin (3.0-22) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Restrict the compile-time search path for texmf.cnf to directories
that in fact exist on a Debian system, thanks to Toby Speight
<T.M.Speight.90@cantab.net> (closes: #392195) [frank]
* Source debianize-updmap at the proper place in updmap, so that
syncWithTrees() gets overloaded by the version in debianize-updmap.
Additionally, patch updmap so that using it with --edit doesn't wreak
havoc on Debian systems. Using --edit will call
debianEditWarnAndShow() from debianize-updmap, hence tetex-bin has to
depend on tex-common (>= 0.34).
Closes: #392573, #334747. [frank, florent]
* Install xdvi's README.t1fonts (closes: #353889) [frank]
