>Description:
After updating the "tex*" packages on my system I can no longer build
the "doxygen" package. This caused by the factet that "latex.fmt"
doesn't get installed to "/var/lib". As a result all attempts to
compile LaTeX files fail:

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!
Problems running latex. Check your installation or look for typos in 
_formulas.tex and check _formulas.log!

I've repeated the build in a clean change-root environment with a
minimal "/etc/mk.conf":

ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES=      yes
SKIP_LICENSE_CHECK=             yes
DEPENDS_TARGET=         bin-install
BINPKG_SITES=
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=

DISTDIR=                /scratch/tron/releng/distfiles
CREATE_WRKDIR_SYMLINK=  no
PKGSRC_LOCKTYPE=        sleep
WRKOBJDIR=              /var/tmp/objdir
SUSE_COMPAT32=          yes
PKG_DEVELOPER= yes
