What will happen when you need to change your 10lmodern.cfg, because
there's an additional map file or so? Just diff'ing, or use ucf?

Yes, I also had this thought when I read your description.

Bug#273789: tetex-base: fmtutil.cnf not found

Hello Frank!

I have followed your instructions. I have append the file:
dpkg-and-setupucf.log

I hope, you can isolate the error with this information.

Unfortunately not. Strangely, it fails in the middle of setup-ucf, while
this script worked without problems when called directly. 

So we need your help again. Please open /usr/share/tetex-base/setup-ucf
in an editor (again), keep the changes you made previously, and
additionally change (third to fifth non-empty line).

## variables
#UCF="ucf --verbose -d --debconf-ok"
UCF="ucf --debconf-ok"

to

## variables
UCF="ucf --verbose -d --debconf-ok"
#UCF="ucf --debconf-ok"

And then repeat the command that lead to dpkg-and-setupucf.log.

Thanks in advance, Frank

Bug#273789: tetex-base: fmtutil.cnf not found

I have keep the changes in /usr/share/tetex-base/setup-ucf:

the first line from
#!/bin/sh -ex
to 
#!/bin/sh -e

and delete at the very end the line:
echo "Exitcode: $?"

Then I do, what you describe, to change the comment at fifth and sixth line.

The I do:
dpkg --configure -a >dpkg-and-setupucf.log 2>&1

and append it to the mail.
thanks Thomas

This was not very helpful. I need the combination of 

#!/bin/sh -ex (with the x)

and

UCF="ucf --verbose -d --debconf-ok"

in setuc-ucf. Only one of them does not help.

Besides, this bug seems to be really strange. Are you sure that your
disk is not nearly full, or you have other hardware problems?

What does mean the latter? In the moment tetex-bin is something like
the central package. "apt-get install tetex-bin" should give you a
working teTeX and suggest to install tetex-extra. The Meta package
would have just to depend on tetex-bin and so its surplus. We could
put a sentence into the description of tetex-bin, that installing
that package gives a minimal but working teTeX installation (if it's
not already there)...

Hmm, that task could be very large, if it installs every kind of XML
processor. As Joey Hess already said in the bug report: users who
want teTeX or something like text processors should know, what they
are looking for. These tools are very specialized often and it
doesn't make sense to install them as a single block.
