It has this home made "mv 40xmltex.cnf 40xmltex.cnf.disable" thing in postrm. I didn't remember, but found out because upgrading from etch with xmltex's conffiles to sid and the packages on people.debian.org works fine. > Same testings 1.9-11.2. > > I guess we should add code to texlive-base-bin or texlive-common, but > how? I'm not sure what's the receipe to reproduce the bug, therefore I'm unsure what we need to do. If we need to take action, and given the sad state of xmltex as it was before, I suggest we take the freedom to rename any xmltex conffile to $file.disabled in texlive-common's postinst if the package is in state rc. I'm just not sure how to find that out properly. Regards, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ. Zürich Debian Developer (teTeX/TeXLive)
