The respective code is:
if which mktexlsr >/dev/null; then update_lsr_files; fi
# tetex might be unpacked but not configured, we have to check
# whether /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf already exists. The following
# check
# does two things: 1) check whether libkpathsea is configured,
# and
# 2) whether tex-common is configured.
if kpsewhich texmf.cnf > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
build_format_if_format_exists --byfmt texinfo
build_format_if_format_exists --byfmt cyrtexinfo
fi
Now the question is, did it happen in the
if kpsewhich texmf.cnf > /dev/null 2>&1
part or in the
build_format_if_format_exists --byfmt texinfo
I honestly have no idea, since set -x didn't help anything. The if
statement should be the problem, it actually should check whether
everything is working. But then, the building of the format shouldn't
break.
If I take a look into the build_format_if_format_exists function
(because the error should be there, as the build format_function echos
something, I see only calls to
kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSVAR
kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFSYSCONFIG
kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf
could it be that one of them does not wolrk? I guess the first two
should work as there is already a texmf.cnf file, so assume that it is
the third.
Ahhhh... tetex not configured, so no fmtutil.cnf, so exit code 1, so
break ... AHHHHHHH
Good, or better not good. I think I have to change the
build_format_if_format_exists function to:
export TEXMFVAR TEXMFCONFIG
if kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
fmtcnffile=`kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf`
else
return 0
fi
Do you agree?
I guess I will upload a new packages with urgency=medium as this is RC,
or?
Best wishes
Norbert
