That's due to the perl install script which tries to update tetex's db 
after installation. I create a patch to avoid it, but I still have to 
update the db manually.
I tried with a PostInstall script but it didn't work. I used a script 
cause I think that the update should be done everytime the program's 
installed, not always when the recipe's compiled (if any package for 
this should come out in the future).

I'll put a new recipe for it as soon as this little issue get solved.
