TeXLive 2014

[Greg Lewis]

After the TeXLive 2014 update a number of the tex related ports won't
build.  An example is print/tex-aleph.  It currently dies like this:

Transcript written on lamed.log.
fmtutil: /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph/work/stage/usr/local/share/texmf-var/web2c/aleph/lamed.fmt installed.
/bin/rm -f /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph/work/stage/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/ls-R /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph/work/stage/usr/local/share/texmf-var/ls-R /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph/work/stage/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf
/bin/rmdir /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph/work/stage/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/web2c || true
====> Compressing man pages (compress-man)
====> Running Q/A tests (stage-qa)
Error: 'share/texmf-var/web2c/aleph/aleph.log' is referring to /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph/work/stage
Error: 'share/texmf-var/web2c/aleph/lamed.log' is referring to /usr/ports/print/tex-aleph/work/stage
*** Error code 1

There are a number of other ports in the same boat.  In this case, and
others where the errors are regarding log files, the errors are spurious.
We shouldn't even install these log files since they serve no purpose and
are just artifacts of the build.

For other ports (e.g. japanese/tex-ptex) the errors seem much more serious:

Error: 'share/texmf-var/web2c/euptex/uplatex.fmt' is referring to /usr/ports/japanese/tex-ptex/work/stage

In this case the .fmt files are a needed file for things to work.

I haven't yet looked into how to possibly fix these.  Can others reproduce?
