Bug#419111: context: Fails to install: ctxfmtutil: line 12: kpsewhich: command not found

Dear release people,

I think you know best how to contact buildd admins.

Reversing the order of what

This one was probably attempted after the first one?  No wonder.  It's
just that removal of texlive-<nearlyeverything> failed, and now dpkg
thinks the files are still present, while they aren't.

Now that the debhelper change has been reverted, we can't rebuild
texlive with fixed tex-common.  We need to upload a reverted tex-common,
and then rebuild texlive.  Until this has happened, buildds should be
prevented to install texlive if that is possible, and the buildds need
to be fixed.  I think they will even fix themselves as soon as they once
installed and then purged a working version.

Thanks.

The following is only interesting to the bug in Cc:

This one doesn't show any bug except the removal ones, which are due to
the debhelper change.

And it shows a strange thing, namely that context is installed at all -
I think we've got some dependencies wrong, but I don't see it.

Hm, or it's a problem with the buildd log:  the commandline in the buildd log
installs only texlive packages, but actualy tetex-bin is installed,
too.  And that pulls in context.

Regards, Frank
