And you upgraded from an old machine to unstable, right? If I remember correctly the machine was using unstable all the time. I just had not done an sudo aptitude safe-upgrade for over a year and was still using the tetex packages. Hm, which paths did you have in TEXMFDIST before you made the change? If it was only /usr/share/texmf-tetex, than it's the problem I described, just not with upgrades from stable_n to stable_n+2, but within unstable - and I wouldn't care much about that. However, from the info in your first mail it seems to me that the problem was that you only had the new path, /usr/share/texmf-texlive. That means you had already upgraded tex-common, but the old tetex-extra still installed. This is something that can still happen to anyone upgrading from etch to lenny. It seems we need to bump the Conflicts line in tex-common from Conflicts: tetex-base (= 3.0-3), tetex-bin (= 3.0-4) to Conflicts: tetex-base (= 2007), tetex-bin (= 2007) But before doing that, I'd like to do some testing first. Any ideas how we could have helped you find that info? I did not find it with google. If the output in the updmap logfile had a reference like „read the files /usr/share/doc/tex-common/TeX-on-Debian*” I might have found it. Hm, well, I think looking into /usr/share/doc/$package should be the first thing on a Debian system, much prior to searching with Google. You've already found that the problem has to to with updmap, which is in the tetex-bin package. $ ls /usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/ NEWS.Debian.gz README.Developers changelog.Debian.experimental.gz changelog.gz README.Debian TODO.Debianchangelog.Debian.gz copyright Both README.Debian and NEWS.Debian point you to TeX-on-Debian.* Also a note in the warning running updmap-sys --edit which finds a modified configuration file (and recommends to delete it, if I remember correctly) might have helped. You used --syncwithtrees, and that give a very generic information which is not Debian-specific, and the script cannot guess that you have a Debian-specific problem. The manpages, however, (and maybe the output of --edit, that's right) should mention the documentation in tex-common. (Cloning the bug and reassigning to texlive-base-bin).

Dear Frank, thanks for your response.

I just had not done an sudo aptitude safe-upgrade for over a year and was still using the tetex packages. Unfortunately there were no information about what tools to use, to modify the paths.

All versions have a table of contents, and in the second chapter, Changing your configuration, file placement, the first section is Available TEXMF trees for users and system administrators which contains the necessary information or links to them. I looked at the document. Great work. Any ideas how we could have helped you find that info? I did not find it with google.

Also a note in the warning running updmap-sys --edit which finds a modified configuration file (and recommends to delete it, if I remember correctly) might have helped. Therefore I manually edited the config file by adding the path to dvips35.map to a variable in the beginning. If you've added /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXmf.cnf and run update-texmf, that was right. After removing all traces of teTeX, you can now remove the texmf-tetex part of the path again. Thanks again for this great answer and sorry, that I did not read the files in tex-common, which are great documents. Please close this bug report, if you do not have any other reasons. I do not.

And you upgraded from an old machine to unstable, right? We have added the texlive path to TEXMFDIST during the sarge-etch upgrade, and AFAIR we had a check for that (which failed with a user-friendly error message). Now in the etch-lenny upgrade, we remove texmf-tetex and only keep texmf-texlive. This probably means that if someone skips a release (which is generally not supported), they should manually remove tetex before upgrading tex-common (the package wich contains the TEXMFDIST setting). The question is whether we want to care for this problem, or simply say You have been warnded? Unfortunately there were no information about what tools to use, to modify the paths.

Hi, I finally found a solution, but I have not found any time yet to report back, so thanks for beating me to it, Hilmar.

So before closing this report, can somebody just tell everybody about the instructions to edit the paths kpsewhich --show-path=map finds. Thanks a lot.
