I think every package that installs snippets for language.dat, updmap.cfg, etc., should call update-foo. That's the clean way. > But then, calling the update-* scripts should be safe at any time. > However, now there is an unconditional call to mktexlsr in tetex-base's > postinst jusst before the update-* scripts are called. IMO this is > unsafe (tetx-bin might not be installed) Indeed; it will just fail if tetex-bin isn't installed, which I noticed during testing. It's already fixed in my local copy and the upload I made, and I just committed it. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
