Please be aware, that not Lionel but Jakub was the initial reporter of that bug. And FWIW, I just ran into the very same bug and are very thankful for Lionel's hint about how to get it fixed. Are you sure that your hard disk (the one of your computer) is in good state and that the file system is correct etc etc??? Yes, I am sure that the filesystem and the RAID and LVM below it are fine on the system on which I ran into this issue.

Hi, No, we don't need a fix for that. People using sid are supposed to be able to fix these things with some help. I see this exact bug on a lenny-squeeze upgrade. The machine in question has never used tex* packages from sid. Also happened a few weeks ago on another machine on a lenny-squeeze (then still testing) upgrade. -- Robbe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

We should thus close this bug.

Well, for this bug, I'm not the only one to get it, as I'm not the original reporter. As to state of my hard disk and file system, for what it is worth, when I rebooted to use the new squeeze kernel, fsck checked the filesystem (because it had not been checked in 200-and-some days), and it found no error. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Until that bug gets fixed, to get unstucked one can do: cd / ar p /var/cache/apt/archives/texlive-base_2009-11_all.deb data.tar.gz | sudo tar zx ./usr/share/texlive-base/pdftexconfig.tex Worked for me, at least. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
