I have been fighting with trying to install the tex related utilities in the unstable subdir for several days now. Finally I have triumphed.
My findings suggest that 'cfg, russian, and swedish' should not be selected when running texconfhyphen of the package texlib. This doesn't affect texlib, but it does not function on my setup when configuring latex. If 'cfg' is selected, my hard drive will fill up because the script that configures latex keeps sending 'y\n' to the stdin of a process which is logging 'type X to exit, Q to quietly quit, etc..' to a log file over and over and over and... If russian or swedish is chosen, I get: Rebuilding `latex' format ... Try /usr/sbin/install-fmt-base --help when configuring latex. Is this a known bug? I'm willing to --purge any files and retry and/or install additional packages if it will get everything to work ok, or to do additional testing. I just hope this is a useful bug report. -- Todd T.
