Package: tex-common
Version: 1.7
Severity: normal
update-fontlang contains the following code:
# Does $TEXMFVAR expand to a single directory?
texmfvar=$(kpsewhich --expand-path '$TEXMFVAR')
if ! echo "$texmfvar" | grep -e ':'; then
output_file="$texmfvar/$PATH_COMPONENT/$DEFAULT_OUTPUTFILE_BASENAME"
else
# We don't know what to do in this case, therefore: do nothing unless
# the output file is specified with the correponding option.
output_file=""
fi
However, if ~/.texmf-var (or whatever $TEXMVAR points to) does not yet
exist, the result of this command is empty. Consequently, update-*
tries to put its files into /web2c which fails (in user mode), and the
error message is confusing.
Regards, Frank
