Dear Debian admins, we need your help with that bug (I've already sent you a message earlier, suspecting hardware problems).

So maybe it is in fact not so indeterministic as I first thought, and not a hardware failure but a real bug. However: > fmtutil failed. Output has been stored in > /tmp/tetex.postinst.XXxxXcHb > Please include this file if you report a bug. we need these temporary files. Without that there is hardly a chance to debug this. I just tried that the formats are built fine in paer's sid chroot, so it doesn't seem to be simple "doesn't work on hppa" thing (although I obviously couldn't do it as root, but only in my homedir).
