Subject: Bug#3891: latex package does not build latex.fmt file

From: Dale Miller <[email-masked]>

Package: latex
Version: 2e-6

After installing this package I found that /usr/bin/latex
did not exist. Upon further incestigation I found that
the latex.fmt file was not being built in /usr/lib/texmf/ini.
The latex.postinst contains a bug in the script. The line as follows:

if [ -f ${ini}/`basename $f .initex`.fmt ];

should be

if [ ! -f ${ini}/`basename $f .initex`.fmt ];

Otherwise the format file never get built.
