mpost problem

Hi all,

I am one of maintainers of teTeX in Debian and got a bug 
report on mpost.

Please visit http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=179505

And one of our maintainers, Julian, told me that this might
be caused by the line in texmf.cnf

   parse_first_line = f

and changing this to:

   parse_first_line = t

would make things work again.

Further, he advised to add to the beginning of /usr/bin/makempx 

   parse_first_line=t
   export parse_first_line

to prevent this going wrong for other people.

How do you think on this advice?

I noticed in ChangeLog that it said

Sat Oct 26 21:54:03 CEST 2002
	* remove that parse_first_line.mpost line (it does not help)

so this might be already discussed in this (or somewhere else) list.
If so, very sorry.

Best regards,			2003-2-4(Tue)
