Hi Marcin, the BTS server seems to be overloaded again, so this mail only reached me directly, not through the maintainer list - which means that no one else is able to comment on it yet. What a pity.

Then I guess we can forget this, it was just an other hanging script that was left over from a previous run. And it is just the kpsewhich call in tetex-base's postinst script that hangs. > 15:52 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:hrw$ ls /tmp/ -a > . gconfd-hrw index.html?sm_command=build ksocket-hrw > orbit-root v995212 > .. gconfd-root index.html?sm_command=build.1 mc-hrw > ssh-UvPBQF1982 vmware-hrw > album_info.xml gpg-eIVKXi kde-hrw mc-root test > .X0-lock > aptitudeEwiQYu .ICE-unix kde-hrw~ orbit-hrw > v920934 .X11-unix nothing tetex'ish yet. Can you try to call kpsewhich directly while it is hanging, like this: kpsewhich -debug=126 --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf 2>&1 | tee kpsewhich.log I guess you will have to kill that process, because it will hang, too. Then send us the log file, or better copy the log file before you kill it and send us this version. Maybe even strace -o kpsewhich.trace kpsewhich --format='web2c files' fmtutil.cnf and the resulting file kpsewhich.trace would be needed.
