Ok, it is us ... and it was present in the upgrade code rom 2005 to 2007, and is still present in texlive-base.postinst of 2007: .... # take over changes to entries which were handled by texlive-base-bin # in etch (see bugs #454324/454344) confd=/etc/texmf/fmt.d oldfile=$confd/10texlive-base-bin.cnf newfile=$confd/10texlive-base.cnf ... if [ "$numberoflines" -ne 0 ]; then echo >> $newfile echo "# The following added lines have been transferred from" >> $newfile echo "# $oldfile" >> $newfile echo "#They take precedence over earlier entries" >> $newfile echo $addedlines >> $newfile fi Now ... who wants to step forward to write texlive-base.postinst code that fixes that fix for a fix that fixes a fix that aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh svn blameing texlive-new/trunk/texlive-base/debian/texlive-base.postinst.pre I see many many many "frank"s in these lines (only).... Frank ... you want to come up with a nice idea ;-))))) Anyway, who is getting earlier at it. I would say we should somehow trigger an upgrade of that file. All the files I have seen are in a way that the cahnges we made were NOT taken over!?!? My file looks like: -------------------------------- # 10texlive-base.cnf # You can change/add entries to this file and changes will be preserved # over upgrades, even if you have removed the main package prior # (not if you purged it). You should leave the following pseudo comment # present in the file! # -_- DebPkgProvidedMaps -_- # etex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *etex.ini pdfetex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini luatex luatex language.def luatex.ini dviluatex luatex language.def dviluatex.ini pdftex pdftex language.def -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini mf mf-nowin - -translate-file=cp227.tcx mf.ini tex tex - tex.ini ---------------------------- And so it should be..... I tend to rename the old unconditionally and install the new one as it should be, and warn the user that if they made changes they have to redo it.
