Evan Broder (broder) wrote : Missing dependency on ed causes texconfig to fail silently in texlive-binaries

texlive-binaries lacks a dependency on ed that was previously present in texlive-base-bin. Because texconfig uses ed for, well, editing files, this causes texconfig to...no longer edit files, which causes it to silently do nothing, but without returning a non-0 error code.

(Note that ed is depended on by ubuntu-standard, so the impact of this bug is comparatively slim, but it does affect things like build chroots)
