Bug#392518: tex-common: fails to uninstall if /usr/local is mounted read-only
Package: tex-common
Version: 0.33
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.1.2
Quoting policy 9.1.2:
Since `/usr/local' can be mounted read-only from a remote server,
these directories must be created and removed by the `postinst' and
`prerm' maintainer scripts and not be included in the `.deb' archive.
These scripts must not fail if either of these operations fail.
However postinst script tries to remove /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R
without checking for errors.
