Bug#419381: texlive-base-bin: xdvi fails to work after upgrading from teTeX

[Daniel Schepler <schepler@math.unipd.it>]

Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007-3
Severity: important

As the subject says: on my system, after upgrading from the old tetex
packages, xdvi doesn't work any more:

daniel@frobnitz:~/research$ xdvi teach.dvi
Can't exec "xdvi.bin": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/xdvi line 87.
xdvi: xdvi.bin terminated abnormally: -1
daniel@frobnitz:~/research$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/xdvi.bin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2007-03-07 03:02 /etc/alternatives/xdvi.bin -> /usr/bin/xdvi.real
daniel@frobnitz:~/research$ /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display xdvi.bin
xdvi.bin - status is manual.
 link currently points to /usr/bin/xdvi.real
/usr/bin/xdvi-xaw.bin - priority 30
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/xdvi-xaw.bin.

I didn't do any manual configuration of that alternative before upgrading,
though.  So the postinst probably needs to have some code handling the
upgrade case for that alternative, either in texlive-base-bin or in
tetex-bin.
