 Hi all! Hi Frank!
 
 Thanks all for the bug reports regarding ConTeXt.
 
 As far as my understanding goes the problem is the following:
 - tetex (old) and texlive 2005 leaves stuff in /var/lib/texmf
 - new texlive packages and transitional tetex packages do not clean up
   this mess
 - context uses ctxfmtutil which:
   . has a bug concerning the format metafun
   . which uses texexec which puts metafun not into web2c/metapost
   . !!! which will go away with the next upload
 
 As a temporary solution for all of you please do:
 - remove .mem .fmt files in /var/lib/texmf/web2c
 - call update-fmtutil
 - call fmtutil-sys --all
 
 After this
 - all formats should be regenerated into the respective subdirectories
 - context should be installable

  I confirm that.

 The above problems will be solved (hopefully soon):
 - context will get an upgrade and will use the default fmt.d config
   files as do all other texlive packages.
   I will try to move the texlive-context config file, but NOT the
   texmf/context/formats.cnf file. If you made changes, sorry please
   transfer them by hand.
 - new incarnation of texlive packages will (probably) clean up the mess
   generated in the /var/lib/texmf/web2c directory left over from tetex 
   packages and old texlive packages. We need this anyway.
 
 Best wishes
 
 Norbert

Great.  The only problem is that we can still not reproduce the
circumstances needed to trigger the bug.  Would you do us a favor?  Then
pack the contents of /etc/texmf/texmf.d/ and /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf into a
tar archive and send it.  There *must* be something in it...
