The maintainer listens, but he doesn't know what to reply... When the maintainter created this package many years ago (that was me) there was no such conflict and the font names of the package were compliant with the font name guidelines used by the TeX community. http://tug.org/fontname/html/ As far as I know, at that time no TeX font conflicted with these names and in particular no Debian package shipped fonts with conflicting font names. A long time passed since then. I no longer feel myself competent to either assess properly the present conflict or to be sure I am implementing the right solution. Dropping scalable-cyrfonts-tex is not something desirable. This package provides several styles whose effect (I think) is not achievable without this package. I mean styles such as cyrtimes, cyrbookman, cyrnewcent, cyrpalatino, teams. Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
