I found the same problem on my desktop at work and my laptop. xmltex wrongly suppose the efmt is available:
cat /etc/texmf/fmt.d/40xmltex.cnf xmltex tex language.dat &latex xmltex.ini pdfxmltex pdftex language.dat &pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini cat /usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/templates/40xmltex.cnf xmltex etex language.dat &latex xmltex.ini pdfxmltex pdfetex language.dat &pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini Apparently last update did not fix for some reason (dunno why, surely I did not altered those files, so update simply fails to do it itself) So, postinst wrongly suppose that fmtutil --all will create a .efmt file. A decent hack should check for .fmt or .efmt presence or force both formats creationi, without relying on current configuration... That could be a tetex-bin issue or a xmltetex one. For sure I see jadetex check one of them, and maybe it has sense. -- Francesco P. Lovergine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
