Hi Clint,

It's a bug in arabtex, but in fact it's the code
that Norbert and I suggested that causes the problem. This is what
happens:
- arabtex 3.11-7 has its map file in /etc/texmf/dvips/map/arabtex.map,
and an updmap.cfg snippet in /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10arabtex.cfg that
references that map file. But the magic comment is missing in
10arabtex.cfg in 3.11-7
- before arabtex is unpacked, the preinst detects that arabtex.map is
unchanged and removes it
- arabtex and the tetex apckages are unpacked, the new arabtex.map is
still arabtex.map.dpkg-new, and the new 10arabtex.cfg (with the magic
comment) is still 10arabtex.cfg.dpkg-new, while the old 10arabtex.cfg
is still there
- tetex-bin is configured and runs update-updmap and updmap, and now it
looks for arabtex.map but cannot find it.
So far for the analysis. I don't have enough time to think of a clean
solution. Maybe, since the conffile placements change, anyway, we
should do the removals and moves in postinst?
Not the moves, since then we would overwrite the conffiles after dpkg
has moved them from *.dpkg-new to the real name, but we can keep the old
file until the postinst is run; we just have to remove it before updmap
is called.
So I propose the attached patch, and we should document this in the TeX
Policy, too.
Regards, Frank

That's an error. I intended for it to be important.
