[texmf-20020207] Possibly harmful duplicates in the texmf tree?
Hi Thomas, I've been installing the teTeX beta (src: 20020402; texmf: 20020207) and my shadow utility detected a number of files with different versions in the texmf tree, which may be harmful in my opinion if they belong to the same element of a path. E.g., is there any guarantee that LaTeX will select the same SIunits.sty file on all platforms if different versions can be found in tex/latex/misc and in tex/latex/SIunits? Even if there is, one of the two files is never used and could be deleted. Best regards, Luc Van Eycken Checking for shadow files for (La)TeX inputs ...

Most are already fixed in my tree (not yet released), but your mail might help other people on the list.

I have to fix that, otherwise that problem will likely appear again sometime... mathpple.sty found in: texmf/tex/latex/mathppledate: 1999-04-19 15:31:00; size=4751 texmf/tex/latex/psnfss date: 2001-10-14 18:19:09; size=5086 ...

Thanks for your analysis. When I looked for duplicates a few weeks ago, I have spotted most, but not all of this (I missed the dvips and babel stuff). Thomas
