AGAIN..... IT'S THE INSTALLATION THAT'S THE ISSUE, *****NOT THE XETEX
BINARY***** dpkg is crashing on this one and only pkg, **NOT** the xetex
binary itself! follow along below:
Setting up texlive-xetex (2012.20120611-5) ...
Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done.
Building format(s) --all --cnffile /etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-xetex.cnf.
This may take some time...
fmtutil-sys failed. Output has been stored in
/tmp/fmtutil.zIrRSYq7
Please include this file if you report a bug.
*dpkg: error processing texlive-xetex (--configure):*
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
texlive-xetex
*E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)*
/tmp/fmtutil.zIrRSYq7
fmtutil: running `xetex -ini -jobname=xelatex -progname=xelatex -etex
xelatex.ini' ...
This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-0.9998 (TeX Live 2012/Debian)
(INITEX)
restricted \write18 enabled.
Killed
note, I did not kill anything.... it died returning the above error.
hopefully enlarged italic red underline will demonstrate the error that is
the bug. this error crashes the apt-get process thus the install and
configuration fails to complete. %100 repeatable
