Package: tetex-extra
Version: 2.0.2c-8
Followup-For: Bug #310321
I just tried to install tetex-extra after aptitude helpfully removed
it instead of upgrading it.
the sequence of events
vi /etc/apt/sources.list (convert to 'sarge' source lines)
aptitude update
aptitude install aptitude
aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade
apt-get install xpdf gv
apt-get install tetex-extra
postinst fails on three parts of the install
`pdfetex -ini -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex *pdflatex.ini' failed
`pdfetex -ini -jobname=cont-en -progname=context *cont-en.ini' failed
`pdfetex -ini -jobname=mptopdf -progname=mptopdf mptopdf.tex' failed
apt-get install ptex-bin
apt-get --purge remove ptex-bin
apt-get install tetex-extra (attempt to reconfigure)
dpkg --pending --configure (fails in same way)
apt-get --purge remove tetex-extra
apt-get install tetex-extra
The failure is always the same. In a followup I'll post a gzipped
typescript file that contains the output of tests suggested by the
maintainers in bugs 244601, 269584, 310321, 329658. I can't tell if
my bug is the same problem as those.
Since I'm following up to 310321, I'll include this one test separately:
# grep -i pool /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf
% and string pools (.pool) for ini{tex,mf,mp}. It is silly that we have six
TEXPOOL = .;$TEXMF/web2c
MFPOOL = .;$TEXMF/web2c
MPPOOL = .;$TEXMF/web2c
pool_size = 1250000
% Minimum pool space after TeX/MP's own strings; must be at least
% 25000 less than pool_size, but doesn't need to be nearly that large.
% min pool space left after loading .fmt
pool_free = 47500
