Bug#694126: [experimental] texlive-binaries fails to upgrade ("fmtutil-sys: not found")

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2012.20121120-1
Severity: serious
Justification: failed upgrade

Hi,

From today's upgrade:

| Dépaquetage de la mise à jour de texlive-binaries ...
| Paramétrage de texlive-binaries (2012.20121120-1) ...
| mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVEMAIN... 
| mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVEDIST... 
| mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN... 
| mktexlsr: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R... 
| mktexlsr: Done.
| Building format(s) --refresh.
|         This may take some time... 
| fmtutil-sys failed. Output has been stored in
| /tmp/fmtutil.dCOi0XZH
| Please include this file if you report a bug.
[...]
| # cat /tmp/fmtutil.dCOi0XZH 
| /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-binaries.postinst: 30: /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-binaries.postinst: fmtutil-sys: not found

Indeed, "which fmtutil-sys" tells me there is no such file.

Downgrading to 2012.20120628-4 seems to work fine (and makes
/usr/bin/fmtutil-sys reappear).  Upgrading again fails again in the
same way.

Thanks for packaging the new texlive version so quickly so bugs
like this can be found.  If there's additional information I
can provide to help track this down, just ask.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
