Thanks. kdebug:start search(file=texmf.cnf, must_exist=1, find_all=1, path=/usr/bin:/usr:/:/usr/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c:/usr /share/texmf-local/web2c://share/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/bin/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/texmf-local/web2c://texmf-local/web2c :/usr/bin/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/web2c://share/texmf/web2c:/usr/bin/texmf/web2c:/usr/texmf/web2c://texmf/web 2c::/usr/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/web2c). kdebug:path element /usr/bin => /usr/bin/ kdebug:path element /usr => /usr/ kdebug:path element / => / kdebug:path element /usr/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c => kdebug:path element /usr/share/texmf-local/web2c => kdebug:path element //share/texmf-local/web2c => kdebug:path element /usr/bin/texmf-local/web2c => kdebug:path element /usr/texmf-local/web2c => kdebug:path element //texmf-local/web2c => kdebug:path element /usr/bin/share/texmf/web2c => kdebug:path element /usr/share/texmf/web2c => /usr/share/texmf/web2c/ kdebug:path element //share/texmf/web2c => kdebug:path element /usr/bin/texmf/web2c => kdebug:path element /usr/texmf/web2c => kdebug:path element //texmf/web2c => kdebug:hash_lookup(TEXMFDBS.kpsewhich) => (nil) kdebug:hash_lookup(TEXMFDBS) => (nil) kdebug:Search path for ls-R files (from compile-time paths.h) This means that on the buildd - TEXMFDBS doesn't contain anything; it should contain lots of TEXMF trees - consequently, texmf.cnf is not found, and the variable is not set. Well, and knowing this, it's even simple to reproduce in a sid chroot: apt-get install texinfo tex-common tetex-bin The reason is that all of them are unpacked, libkpathsea4 is the first to get configured, and therefore the test in texinfo's postinst script works fine. However, since tex-common is not configured yet, there is not texmf.cnf at all. So, assuming that we do not want to let texinfo depend on tex-common, I think we can just test for the existence of texmf.cnf (either [ -f /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf ], or "kpsewhich texmf.cnf >/dev/null") Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
