Package: lyx-common Version: 1.3.4-2 Followup-For: Bug #255368
Hi I have the same problems : tetex-bin and xfonts missing after purging my tex installation and cleaning the remaining directory. About the xfonts problems : - before cleaning remaining diles and directory i had: ls /usr/share/lyx/ lyxrc.defaults packages.lst textclass.lst xfonts rm -Rf /usr/share/lyx/xfonts/ cmex10.pfb cmr10.pfb eufm10.pfb fonts.scale msbm10.pfb wasy10.pfb cmmi10.pfb cmsy10.pfb fonts.dir msam10.pfb PSres.upr after: /usr/share/lyx/xfonts/ is recreated but empty :( About the tetex-bin error : lyx already depends on tetex-bin but none of lyx-qt or lyx-comon depends on lyx nor tetex-bin. Thus i all are purge then if lyx-common/lyx-qt are reinstall before the other the font cannot be generated by tex. This one might happen on most new install and may be an RC bug. If they are installed via lyx metapackage this one does install tetex-bin and the xfonts dir is populated with required fonts. Also set -e may be a good thing too. The above problems results in a broken lyx install but the install does not abort. This would require a Pre-Depends on tetex-bin. I vote for moving the dependencies from lyx to lyx-common and making the latter provide the lyx name. Or making lyx-common depends on lyx instead of its frontend. WIthout lyx postinst there is not fonts.
