Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-15
Severity: minor

As my HOME is nfs mounted with root-squash enable (ie root cannot access
my HOME dir), I noticed that fmtutil-sys try to load my local texmf.cnf:

[...]
Running fmtutil-sys. This may take some time. ...
/users/huron/danjean/texmf.cnf: Permission denied
/users/huron/danjean/texmf.cnf: Permission denied
/users/huron/danjean/texmf.cnf: Permission denied

/users/huron/danjean/texmf.cnf: Permission denied
/users/huron/danjean/texmf.cnf: Permission denied
Running updmap-sys. This may take some time. ... done.

To avoid this, I need to do a "su -" (sudo and/or su without "-" option
is not sufficient).

Note that I think that with "su -", fmtutil-sys still try to look at the
user config file. However, as root's home is local, I do not have such
messages.

Can't the fact that fmtutil-sys try to read the user config file lead
to bad system-wide config file (if the user config file is badly
written) ? I am not sure of that, hence the minor serverity.

  Best regards,
    Vincent

Many thanks for testing. I'm closing the bug now, it is fixed at
least in the latest version, probably earlier. ;-)
