Bug#257075: tetex-bin: apt-get install fails

Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-15
Severity: normal

apt-get install tetex-bin fails rendering the paquet uninstallable. So
all paquets that depend on tetex-bin are also uninstallable.

This has been reported before (therefore merging the bugs), but
unfortunately the first submitter did not answer our questions. Thus we
were not able to do anything about this. Nice to find somebody else who
encounters the problem, I hope you have some time to help us out.

Could you please tell us which kind of filesystem you use on the
partition that contains /tmp? If you don't remember, the output of a
"mount" command without arguments would help.

Thanks in advance, Frank

All the / system is XFS:

I doubt this. If I am right, you can have the same error message with

Hi Vittorio,

Can we close the bug?

Thank you very much,

Checked and true. Problem is triggered by -p option.

We should also change tetex-bin and add the new files to the debconf
choices. But this one requires a change, because the postinst (fmtutil)
will fail if ukhyphen is enabled, but not found.

I noticed that the dependencies between tetex-bin and tetex-base are
awkward:

tetex-bin: Conflicts: tetex-base (<< 2.0.2-6)
           Depends: tetex-base (>> 2.0.2-5.1)
