Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2009-8
Severity: important
I do not seem to be able to install TeX on account of texlive-binaries'
fmtutil-sys post-installation script failing. I remember I did at one
point have latex set up on this system, but it has been since removed.
I have checked for any lingering unpurged configuration files and as far
as I can tell there is nothing installed relating to TeX (according to
dpkg and searches through /etc, /usr, /var). I've catted a log of APT:

Ok, closing the bug.
So you are actually a fan of Ed Wood, strange!
