Hi Matthias, hi Emmanuel,

again a shell script that segfaults. Could 344082 and 343444 be the
same bugs? Emmanuel, which version of bash is installed on your system?

Line 344 is the opening brace `{' in

###############################################################################
# verbose (cmd)
# execute cmd. Redirect output depending on $mktexfmtMode.
###############################################################################
verbose()
{
  $mktexfmtMode && ${1+"$@"} >&2 || ${1+"$@"}
}

and again there is a variable that's supposed to contain a command and
is not yet expanded before the shell segfaults.

It turned out that theo other bug, 34344, was a segfault in the program
that was called on the respective line in the script. So I guess we can
assume that in this case it isn't bash, either.

I assume that the problem persists on your system, i.e. if you try to
configure tetex-bin it happens again? If that is true, can you please
try "fmtutil-sys --all" - does this also give the segfault? If that
happens, please run

sh -x /usr/bin/fmtutil-sys --all 2>&1 | tee fmtutil.debug

and send us the resulting file fmtutil.debug.

Downgrading this bug since the submitter didn't react for a couple of
days. If he does react and it turns out to be reproducible on his
system, I plan to raise it again; if he doesn't react at all until mid
January (christmas holidays until Jan. 6 +~ one week), I'll ask again
and finally close.

Ah, fine. Then it was probably related to bug #344912, wrongly linked
libraries - or it was in a library that you upgraded at the same time.
I'm closing the bug.

Ah, fine. Then it was probably related to bug #344912, wrongly linked
libraries - or it was in a library that you upgraded at the same time.
I'm closing the bug.

There were some changes between -12 and -13 to fmtutil, but none
which could avoid a segfault:

  * {texconfig,fmtutil,updmap}-sys: improve handling to avoid spurious
    warnings when fmtutil is called from texconfig-sys (Closes: #343172) [jdg]
  * fmtutil: change $scriptname back to $progname to simplify patch [jdg]
  * fmtutil, updmap: fix mktexfmt handling (now called correctly by root
    and non-root) and error message handling when fmtutil/updmap called by
    root [jdg]

I'd rather suspect problems on your system.
Anyway: as the problem seems to be solved now I'm closing this bug.
Please reopen if you disagree.

Happy new year!
