Hi all!

Currently in tex-common there is a change to dh_installtex autoscripts
for the fmtutil stuff. Whatever, the problem is that before there was
always
	Building format(s) --byfmt foobar. This may take some time...  done
Now I have the following code:
dhit_build_format ()
{

    tempfile=$(mktemp -p /tmp fmtutil.XXXXXXXX)
    printf "Building format(s) $@. This may take some time... "
    if fmtutil-sys "$@" > $tempfile 2>&1 ; then
...

and I always get
	Building format(s)--cnffile done
(or something similar). Some text is always missing, but the formats are
build and the command run etc. Only the echo is problematic.

Any ideas why this could be?

Best wishes

Norbert
