The issue reported in https://bugs.debian.org/480725 is nevertheless
still present and reproducible. When pasting the following content into
a file called input.mp and calling "mptopdf input.mp" no pdf file is
created, just the intermediate ps file.
This needs to be handled.

Thank you for the report, we will try to fix it for the upcoming texlive 2019.
With texlive 2018 you can produce the pdf directly
%%
test.mpinput metauml;
beginfig(-1);
Begin.b;
End.e;
e.w = b.e + (15,0);
drawObjects(b,e);
clink(transition)(b, e);
