Subject: tetex-base not pre-configuration friendly

X-Debbugs-CC: sanvila@unex.es
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0-9
I have a custom-made package which creates the file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
(among others) before I install the various tetex-* packages. This is
so that I do not have to run texconfig by hand to configure it.
However, this actually makes tetex configuration to fail, which is
very annoying. This is a detailed description of what happens:
I first put the file /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf in place.
Then I install tetex-bin, tetex-base and tetex-lib from scratch:
apt-get install tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-lib
tetex-base is the first one to be configured. Its postinst checks for
the /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf file and it decides it is ok to create the
formats at this point. However, when it tries to create the formats, it
reports that the file /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf does not
exist, and it exits with an error.
What happens is that /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf is a symlink to
/etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf, and it does not exist because it belongs
to tetex-bin. Since tetex-bin has not been configured yet the file
is still named as /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf.dpkg-new.
I think tetex-base wrongly assumes that the existence and several
other things about the file texmf.cnf is enough to be able to create
the formats. To fix this, I suggest that an additional check is made
in tetex-base.postinst for the existence of the file /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf
as well.
As a work-around, I have added /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf to my
custom-made package, but I think the tetex-base.postinst should be
made more fault-tolerant in either case.
Thanks.

Changes:
tetex-base (1.0.2+20021025-4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Added note for tetex maintainers about how to create orig.tar.gz
This is irrelevant for users but might be helpful for maintainers
cooperation. [kohda]
* Now postinst and tetex-extra.postinst checked the existence of
/etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf" before running "texconfig init". [kohda]
(Closes: #62539)
* Now updmap.cfg is not a conffile but a configuration file generated by
update-updmap of tetex-bin. [kohda] (Closes: #70581)
* Found extsizes was included. [kohda] (Closes: #111561)
* Removed unnecessary /etc/X11/Xresources from dirs. [kohda]
* Moved eurosym and texdoctk stuffs in tetex-extra so modified dependency
correspondingly. [kohda] (Closes: #173872, #170382)
* Moved pdftex/pdflatex stuffs in tetex-base so now pdftex/pdflatex
should work without tetex-extra. [kohda]
(Closes: #143751, #95995, #139298)
* Removed FMT files when tetex-extra would be removed. Note, obsolete
omaga.fmt and lambda.fmt would be removed with preinst of tetex-bin.
[kohda] (Closes: #45930)
* Fixed handling way of psfonts.map pdftex.map ; first removed
obsolete wrong files if any in preinst and set them up correctly in
postinst. [kohda]
* Tried to remove obsolete conffiles with debconf. [kohda]
* Fixed handling of /usr/share/texmf/doc in rules; in the former version
symlinks were messed up. In this time, they would be corrected and #170592
should be fixed really.
