Bug#665767: tex-common: update-texmf does not apply a lexical order to the names of the files under $CNFDIR
Package: tex-common
Version: 3.4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
update-texmf, in version 3.4 at least, uses the output of find(1) which,
however, is not lexically ordered as is implied by section 2.4.1 in the
documentation (/usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian.{pdf|txt}.gz).
Either sort(1) the result first before using it to append the files to
$TMPTXMF or simply have ls(1) provide the output, which is also ordered
according to the current locale.
Cheers,
Christian
