Bug#659907: texlive-binaries: fails to upgrade with jadetex installed

[Rogério Brito <rbrito@ime.usp.br>]

Package: texlive-binaries
Followup-For: Bug #659907

Hi there.

I'm also seeing something which looks like this bug, but I am not sure if
the symptoms are just the same, with a different cause.

I don't have jadetex installed.

For some reason, reverting back to stable's version of texlive-base (*not*
texlive-binaries) reinstalls the conffile pdftexconfig.tex which is what was
trying to be found during the upgrade (below are last lines of the fmtutil log):

,----
| fmtutil: running `pdftex -ini   -jobname=latex -progname=latex -translate-file=cp227.tcx *latex.ini' ...
| This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) (INITEX)
|  (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/web2c/cp227.tcx)
| entering extended mode
| (/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/latexconfig/latex.ini
| ! I can't find file `pdftexconfig'.
| l.7     \input pdftexconfig
|                            
| (Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit)
| Please type another input file name: 
| ! Emergency stop.
| l.7     \input pdftexconfig
|                            
| No pages of output.

Upon reinstallation of texlive-base from stable, I get this:

,----
| Selecting previously unselected package libpoppler5.

Please note the line "Reinstalling deleted mandatory conffile
pdftexconfig.tex".

If there is any further information that may be needed, just let me know.
