README.Debian in xmltex explains this issue, but you may not be able to
easily get at that either while you have this problem.

The last line there is the key. I believe this means that you have
automatic updating of your fmtutil configuration turned off in the
tetex-bin configuration, which means that installation of new formats will
fail in the way that you're seeing.

You can fix this by running dpkg-reconfigure -p low tetex-bin and then
configuring it to update fmtutil.cnf automatically.

The package installs correctly for me (I have this enabled).

Yes, right the installation is fine now, thanks.
BTW the xmltex installation should not fail even if this option is
turned to off, I let the bug open.

Yes, it should fail. The postinst of tetex-bin even warns you about
this.

 $ cat /usr/share/doc/xmltex/README.Debian
 -----------------------------
 Debian README file for xmltex
 -----------------------------

 Installation of xmltex will fail if automatic generation of fmtutil.cnf
 is not enabled. This can be enabled by reconfiguring tetex-bin. As root,
 do the following:

  # dpkg-reconfigure -p low tetex-bin

 Note that this is a known issue with the Debian teTeX packages; the
 configuration dialogs displayed at package installation time say:

  REMARK: Automatic installation of some other TeX related packages could
  fail in this case.

I strongly disagree, a package installation should never fail on
purpose. Catch the error, ignore it, at least display a message to say
what's needed but don't keep a broken postinst on purpose.

Do you really think than an user will remember his previous tetex-bin
installation notes ? Most of users don't even read the installation
logs ..
And you can't be confident on the fact that people will go to read the
README.Debian when the installation fail.

I'm reopening the bug with the severity set to important since it
doesn't fail for everybody.

Please note that the tetex-bin package has changed its defaults
meanwhile. It is still possible to deselect automatic generation of
fmtutil.cnf, but the new default is now to generate it. Furthermore,
people upgrading from old installations have been prompted again with
the new behavior selected as default, and noninteractive installations
(or machines with too low debconf priority) have been automatically
changed to generate fmtutil.cnf.

I think this lowers the severity of the bug, because now it should only
affect people who deliberately chose to override the default, reading
the warning:

This is bug #262395, so reassigning there.

This is a serious bug as it will break all installations with the
current (testing and unstable) tetex packages. Patch: edit
/usr/share/texmf/tex/xmltex/templates/40xmltex.cnf to read:

xmltex latex language.dat &latex xmltex.ini
pdfxmltex pdflatex language.dat &pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini

i.e., changing "tex" -> "latex" and "pdftex" to "pdflatex".

or

xmltex etex language.dat &latex xmltex.ini
pdfxmltex pdfetex language.dat &pdflatex pdfxmltex.ini

The latter is better, as it works whatever the setting of latex is.

The severity should be at least grave, as the upgrade breaks the
system, and so that the bug can be seen by apt-listbugs, as said
in bug #311425.

Sorry, but I'm afraid that /tmp is tmpfs, and it was lost after
shutting down. It succeeded later, and I've tried downgrading to -8
and upgrading again, and it now works fine.

So there's still a fault here which can cause errors on upgrades, but
I'm not sure what the cause is, or if it will affect woody upgrades.
I'll try purging all of tetex and trying again.

Thanks,
Roger

No luck. It reinstalled fine.

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.

Uhm just an hint, maybe installconf should be used a bit more in
the postinst file :) ?

The following rather trivial patch seems to clear up this issue here.
[Someone better at shell could probably make it slightly cleaner...
just thank $DEITY that I didn't decide to write it in perl. ;-)]

The basic idea is just to see if fmtutil is going to make an efmt or
fmt, and then check for the existence of the appropriate file.

Eugene Konev reminded me (in #debian-bugs) that a fix is needed to the
postrm as well. Since kpsewhich can return both fmt and efmt, the
trivial thing is to look for both:

 # remove fmt and efmt files
 XMLTEXFMT=$(kpsewhich xmltex.efmt xmltex.fmt) || true
 PDFXMLTEXFMT=$(kpsewhich pdfxmltex.efmt pdfxmltex.fmt) || true
 rm -f $XMLTEXFMT $PDFXMLTEXFMT

The more complete attached patch does that.

Yet another minor issue, which I found because I had both xmltex.emft

fix):

 XMLTEXFMT=$(kpsewhich xmltex.efmt xmltex.fmt) || true
 PDFXMLTEXFMT=$(kpsewhich pdfxmltex.efmt pdfxmltex.fmt) || true
 LOGDIR=$(dirname $(kpsewhich xmltex.efmt xmltex.fmt|head -n 1)) || true

Don,

I tested your latest patch against -9 on sarge/i386 and sid/ppc and it
worked without problems both upgrading and installing from scratch
with a clean tetex install. Not that this is any guarantee of
perfection, but the patch looks clean and I couldn't see any obvious
errors.

Regards,
Roger

Don,

Many thanks for the patches. I'm building a new package as we speak.

Thanks,

Hi,

I just build -10 and confirm that upgrades from -8 and -9 work ok, as well as
a fresh install, as well as purges after each of these.

Don, thanks again for the patches.
Roger, thanks for testing them.

Thanks,
Ardo

Does the woody upgrade need testing?

That might indeed not be a bad idea. If you can please do by all means.

Done with no problems to report.

I did a base woody install, installed tetex+xmltex and dist-upgraded
to sarge. No errors on upgrade.

Roger
