This is the unchanged value, as the file is included in the deb. So far, so good. >> grep trie_size /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep trie_size /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf > % `ssup_trie_opcode' and `ssup_trie_size' in tex.ch (and rebuild TeX); > trie_size = 64000 texmf.cnf is created from files in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/, and therefore in an ideal world the value should be the same here. It is not, and this indicates either a bug, or that someone has edited the file - which is allowed, of course, but done on one's own risk. If that "someone" is an other package, as you suspect, this would be a grave bug, of course, and it would be really good if we could find this out. To find out what happened, please do the following, and send us the output: grep texmf.cnf /var/lib/ucf/hashfile md5sum /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf update-texmf -d If it asks you about changes made, you can look at the diff, but for debugging purposes, you should choose not to accept the maintainer changes, as suggested, but keep your installed version. After this do again: grep trie_size /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf grep texmf.cnf /var/lib/ucf/hashfile md5sum /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf If after the call to update-texmf the trie_size in texmf.cnf is still not 262000, please go on like this: Open /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPatch.cnf in an editor and change an arbitrary comment. For example, go to the line before the trie_size setting and write something like % this must be at least 262000 After this, run "update-texmf -d" again. Now it should really display a dialog: It should tell you that there are changes that need to merged, and offers you to show the differences. Please look at the differences. If the only difference is the comment you added and the setting of trie_size, please accept the "maintainer changes" - this means the changes that come from the files in texmf.d. If there are more differences, things are more difficult. It might be that you or some other admin on that machine edited the file, and the changes actually make sense - then it would be advisable to also make the changes in the respective file in texmf.d - then update-texmf will no longer ask you. If you don't have any idea where those changes might come from, it might in fact be that some other package did these changes in a wrong way. Please send us the diff - you need not copy&paste it. Instead, simply chose to _not_ accept the "maintainer" changes, and look at the filename that is displayed in the end, something like Keeping temporary file /tmp/tmp.XXXXrB9Inp/texmfXko4iou You can then make a diff between this file and /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf.
