Package: texlive-base
Version: 2009-11
Severity: minor

When installing texlive-base in a clean chroot, it says:

Setting up texlive-base (2009-12~1) ...
Reinstalling deleted mandatory conffile pdftexconfig.tex
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.

Of course it hasn't been deleted, it just never was there.  The result
ist correct of course, but the misleading text may point to a flaw in
the logic.

Feel free to close this if you (those who still understand the status of
the problem, I certainly don't) think it doesn't make sense to catch
this case.

and this bug seems to have been bogus from the beginning.  I have no
idea what I did back then, but I _cannot_ reproduce it in squeeze or
sid. There's also no indication in the code what could go wrong.
Therefore closing.

The analysis was not right.  It's in the function resurrect_conffile_sid
that the commandline arguments to the preinst script are checked.  And
only upon upgrading it tries to do something.  However, there is a bug
(#612924), as discussed earlier:

$ loginlenny
...
# aptitude install texlive-base
...
# rm /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
# $edit /etc/apt/sources.list # to point to squeeze
# aptitude update
...
# aptitude safe-upgrade 2>&1 | tee s_upgrade.lg
...

gives

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tex-common_2.08_all.deb (--unpack):

as previously described.  But the reason is not only that the template
file is in /usr/share/texlive-bin/, moreover: In many cases texlive-bin
is removed prior to installing texlive-base as a decision of aptitude's
conflict resolver.

That means we have no possibility to resurrect the file in preinst.
There's code to do it again in postinst anyway. 

So simply dropping that line would be the patch, I guess. I will test it
and ask release about a fix for stable.
