circular dependency tl-base and tl-binaries (was: TL2009 build strangeties)
Hi,
just to remind us of the reason why we are discussing this: Norbert
found that I introduced a circular dependency, tl-base and tl-binaries
depend on each other. This is bad.

Below there's a log attached, just for completeness.
But actually we are (or I was) discussing with wrong assumptions.
Weeks ago when I did testing of installation and upgrades,
texlive-binaries wouldn't configure because the mktex* scripts in
/usr/share/texmf/web2c where missing.
At the moment this is not necessary, so we could just as well just drop
texlive-binaries' dependency on texlive-base (it works; tested with
--force-depends).
However, I suspect that we have a bug. Here's the relevant part from
texlive-binaries' postinst:
for i in lsrfull ; do
if [ "$i" = lsr ] ; then
if [ $do_lsr = 0 ] ; then
update-texmf-config lsr
fi
fi
if [ "$i" = lsrfull ] ; then
if [ $do_lsr = 0 ] ; then
update-texmf-config lsrfull
fi
fi
if [ "$i" = map ] ; then
update-texmf-config map
fi
if [ "$i" = allformats ] ; then
dhit_build_format --all
fi
if [ "$i" = format ] ; then
for fmt in ; do
dhit_build_format --all --cnffile "/etc/texmf/fmt.d/$fmt.cnf"
done
fi
if [ "$i" = hyphen ] ; then
update-texmf-config hyphen
fi
done
Note that formats are not built at all. Is that correct? In the old
days, it was generally necessary to rebuilt the formats when the
binaries had changed. Is that only becaus of pool files which are gone?
Regards, Frank
