This is very strange, because tetex-bin is configured while tetex-base's configure script is still running. There is an error related to this in tetex-base's postinst script, it doesn't check properly whether kpsewhich works. But I'm surprised that it doesn't just exit - it looks as if it was waiting for something, but doing that in the background. Does anybody see what the problem is? Maybe we should just take the code from dh_installtex. Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
