Package: dvipdfmx
Version: 1:20050831-3
Severity: serious

Hello Yu,

There is an error when attempting to purge dvipdfmx:
  Removing dvipdfmx ...
  Purging configuration files for dvipdfmx ...
  dpkg: error processing dvipdfmx (--purge):
   subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1

The postrm script cannot rely on mktexlsr and update-texmf to be available when 
purging.

See Policy 7.2:
  Note, however, that the `postrm' cannot rely on any non-essential packages to
  be present during the `purge' phase.


The postinst script do:
                [ -f /usr/sbin/update-texmf ] && /usr/sbin/update-texmf
                [ -f /usr/bin/mktexlsr ] && /usr/bin/mktexlsr

Unfortunately due to set -e this causes the script to fail silently
 when either update-texmf or mktexlsr is unavailable. 
(false && true is still false).

Cheers,
