Bug#797381: tex-common: postinst tries to create a temporary file in /

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi Robert,

thanks for the report, indeed indeed ...

Can you check wether the following simple change around line 234
works: The areas should look like:
    # create output dir in any case ...
    destdir=$(dirname $output_file)
    mkdir -p "$destdir"
    cd "$destdir"
