I'm pretty sure you'll get another bug for this code. As the path
above does not corespond to the FHS is should work anyway. ;-)

Maybe it would be more elegant to do something like this

+$ENV{TEXMFVAR} = $TEXMFMAIN;
+$ENV{TEXMFSYSVAR} = $TEXMFMAIN;

(or whatever the current name for our tree is, and probably needs to be
expanded by kpsewhich, not the shell).

Good idea, done that. Thanks for suggestion.

No, I did not.

Before the steps the file had a time stamp:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12750 May 27 21:07

dpkg.log:

2013-05-27 21:07:22 status installed tex-common:all 4.03

So, anything in the TL packages must have broken that file.

After the steps everything is OK. I tag the bug as unreproducible for
now.

Ok, somehow your copy of config-paper.ps got messed up, that can happen.

I have no changed tl-paper (the script) in a way that when *setting*
a paper size, it  *first* unsets TEXFMVAR and TEXMFSYSVAR. By this
the normal code with kpsewhich in TLPaper.pm will find the
copy originally distributed in TeX Live (/u/s/texlive/texmf-dist),
*or*, if the sysadm changed something, a copy in TEXMFSYSCONFIG,
but *NOT* (!) the one we have created with tl-paper in TEXMFSYSVAR.

THis way, we are sure that the format is correct while reading in
the current papers and creating a new correct one in TEXMFSYSVAR.

THe sysadmin still has the option to add his own copy of config-paper.ps
in /etc/texmf/dvips/config/ and adjust the paper sizes or whatever,
but he has to care for the syntactic correctness. Something that we anyway
require ;-)

The patch is quite simple:

I did some experiments with deliberately scramlbing the config-paper.ps
file, and it worked.

Hope you agree that this is a solution to the problem.

Package: texlive-base

Dear Maintainer,

Today I upgraded to TL 2013 from TL 2012. During setup of texlive-base I get
a lot of error messages regarding a perl module:

-- Package-specific info:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning
the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with
combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your
local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of
the original .sty file, or any other help resource. 

   *** The Debian TeX Team is *no* LaTeX Help Desk ***

If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries 
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.

Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.

Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are 
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html (english)

Thanks, so my first conjecture was wrong, let us try another one.

Send me the outputs of
kpsewhich --progname=dvips --format='dvips config' config.ps
kpsewhich --progname=dvips --format='dvips config' config-paper.ps
and then also the *files* that are mentioned there.

I see that *if* the config-paper.ps is corrupted, then the code in TLPaper.pm
might produce rubbish...
