As it only fails in the autobuilder, I can't provide a sh output, but strace
shows the problem:
| execve("/usr/bin/kpsewhich", ["kpsewhich", "-var-value", "TEXMFSYSVAR"], [/*
26 vars */]) = 0
| [...]
| access("/usr/share/texmf/aliases", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
| fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
| mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x77fe6000
| write(1, "\n", 1) = 1
| munmap(0x77fe6000, 4096) = 0
| exit_group(1)
At this point, the postinstall script bails out.
The configuration succeds if I do it by hand after it failed one time, so I
think it may some sort of recursive dependency, where the order of
configuration is undefined.
