Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-19
Severity: important

I had to reinstall my system and now latex fails when creating a new font. A
relevant mktextfm call from missfont.log:

Your permission on pk, source and tfm are wrong. Please set them to
1777.
As of tetex-base 2.0.2b-x (why can't I find a changelog entry?) these
dirs are contained with 1777 in tetex-base. For any reason during
install of tetex-base the perms are set back to 755. I guess that is
an dpkg bug (or somewhere else). We should fix the perms in postin of
tetex-base again.

Because it slipped in without me wanting or knowing it. I had thought
about that change, see=20

http://lists.debian.org/debian-tetex-maint/2004/08/msg00347.html

but then decided not to do it for sarge. Somehow parts of the change did
slip in, however, an I fear now I can do it as well: We will need a
Conflicts: of tetex-bin with the buggy versions of tetex-base anyway,
therefore the only advantage of not doing it is gone: Namely to
circumvent an even closer versioned dependency between both packages.

It's not a dpkg bug, it's a maintainer bug. I do

# ship /var/cache/fonts in the tetex-base package, with proper permissions
 mkdir --mode=3D1777 debian/$(package)/var/cache/fonts/pk
 mkdir --mode=3D1777 debian/$(package)/var/cache/fonts/tfm
 mkdir --mode=3D1777 debian/$(package)/var/cache/fonts/source
[...]

dh_fixperms -i

and the last call sets everything to 644...

In debian/rules we call dh_fixperms -i. That breaks the 1777 perms
we've originally set on /var/cache/fonts/* . We have to exclude these
dirs from fixing. The attached patch should solve it. I've built the
package and unpacked it using dpkg-deb for checking. I didn't install
it!
Further: What are .#changelog.1.110, changelog.cachefonts,
control.cachefonts in debian/ ? Do we need a 755 perm on
/usr/share/bug/tetex-base/control ?

/var/cache/fonts/{tfm,pf,source} had the wrong permissions. These
dirs are contained in tetex-base. So what?
Yes, I know in earlier times tetex-bin fiddled with the permissions
of these dirs, but actually that was an tetex-base bug.

Well, you're right. But on the other hand, fixing tetex-base without
also changing tetex-bin would still have left a bug in tetex-bin: Namely
that it tried to fiddle with permissions of directories of tetex-base.=20

In this case I was aware of it, and currently tetex is very actively
developed. But this might not be the case all the time, and for every
package. In order not to forget one part of the story, I think the
better way would have been something like

clone 267896 -1
retitle -1 tetex-bin should not handle tetex-base's /var/cache/fonts/*
reassign 267896 tetex-base

Currently, _both_ things are fixed in unstable.
