Bug#560317: dpkg-reconfigure fails on cm-super

[Simon Valiquette <v.simon@ieee.org>]

Package: cm-super
Version: 0.3.4-3
Severity: important

I can install and remove this package without problem, but if I run
"dpkg-reconfigure -a", it stops at cm-super-minimal unless I uninstall
it and reinstall it only once dpkg-reconfigure have completed, thus
the reason behind the severity.

Here an example:

> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p low cm-super cm-super-minimal
Creating fonts. This may take some time... done.
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
dpkg-trigger: « dpkg-trigger » doit être appelé depuis un script de mainteneur ( ou avec l'option « --by-package »)
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
dpkg-trigger: « dpkg-trigger » doit être appelé depuis un script de mainteneur ( ou avec l'option « --by-package »)

Translation:  dpkg-trigger must be called from a maintainer script
or with the option --by-package


I don't know why the reconfiguration fails while the installation
is successful, but perhaps you will have some idea. Notice that I
have the exact same problem with cm-super-minimal, which is to be
expected since they use the same scripts.
