Bug#608469: tex-common: Path of texmf trees hard coded in postinst scripts
Package: tex-common
Version: 2.08
Severity: wishlist
In the file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf it is possible to change the values of
TEXMFMAIN, TEXMFDIST, TEXMFSYSVAR . However these settings are ignored in
the postinst scripts of tex-common (and maybe other packages), simply the
default values are assumed. The scripts should source
/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf (if it exists) and assume the default values only the
the necessary variables are empty after sourcing the file.
