Bug#488035: texlive-base-bin: contains a static copy of fmtutil.cnf in the search path

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007.dfsg.1-4.np.etch.1
Severity: normal

$ dlocate fmtutil.cnf
texlive-base-bin: /usr/share/man/man5/fmtutil.cnf.5.gz
texlive-base-bin: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

If the generation of /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf fails somehow, the
format generation should rather fail with a "fmtutil.cnf not found"
message, not at an arbitrary point once the static file doesn't match
reality any more.

Regards, Frank
