I suggest the following fix to the tex-common config script:
--- config.in (Revision 949)
+++ config.in (Arbeitskopie)
@@ -59,6 +59,10 @@
PERMS=$(stat --format="%a" /var/cache/fonts 2>/dev/null)
GROUP=$(stat --format="%G" /var/cache/fonts 2>/dev/null)
+ if [ "$GROUP" = "UNKNOWN" ] ; then
+ GROUP=$(stat --format="%g" /var/cache/fonts 2>/dev/null)
+ fi
+
# see wether we already have asked this question once
db_fget tex-common/managecache seen || true
SEEN="$RET"
Ie if the group cannot be found, take instead the numeric id. The user
can later change the group id to a group name, but if he wants to leave
the group id as is, we do
chown "root:$GROUP"
in the postinst script, which also works with numeric ids. So I would
say that would be a solution.
Comments from the rest of the group?
Best wishes
Norbert
