Package: texlive-base
Version: 2014.20141024-1
Severity: minor

Hi Norbert,

I just did a dist-upgrade on a laptop I hadn't used for a few weeks.
I didn't check that the power cord was plugged in, and the laptop crashed
during the upgrade.

After rebooting, I couldn't get APT to recover because the file
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/ls-R was empty.  I needed to manually
reinstall textlive-base to get it fixed.

I don't know if you consider this a bug -- if you don't, please close this
bug report.  (And I'll troll the Debian mailing lists complaining about how
DDs routinely close perfectly valid bug reports.)

(Just kidding.)

Well done ;-)

Hmm, I guess you mean that the tex-common triggers didn't run through,
that is bad indeed.

I *could* add a 
	mktexlsr
call before each and every command, that would fix your problem,
but would bring the wrath of many other onto me, because mktexlsr
takes quite some time.

I have factored out all the calls so tha tonly the necessary 
ls-R files are recreated, which reduces the run time (= waiting time)
significantly. See old bug reports "why run mktexlsr on each and every
package" etc.

In your case, reinstallation of texlive-base fixed it, but there was
a much simpler option, run (as root)
	mktexlsr /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist
much quicker ;-)

I am closing it, as I don't consider this one instance a reason to
add more mktexlsr calls sprinkled through the tex-common code
and increasing waiting time on each upgrade.

Hope you agree with me :-)

Enjoy

Norbert
