Bug#419565: context: configuration fails

[Tamas K Papp <tpapp@Princeton.EDU>]

Package: context
Version: 2007.01.23-3
Severity: normal


Configuration fails, the log is below.  I read similar bug reports, so
I also tried installing after removing every package that uses
/var/lib/texmf and deleting this directory.

Output:
