Whilst doing update or software installation in YaST, I was getting an
apparent hang during SuSEconfig of the tetex module - it has got stuck
there for around 8 hours and counting until I killed SuSEconfig. While
YaST was still updating packages, I tried installing another RPM and got
a message that said I should "rm /var/lock/SuSEconfig-is-running". After
doing that SuSEconfig produced the following messages:-
kpsestat: /etc/texmf/ls-R: Value too large for defined data type
kpsestat: /etc/texmf/ls-R: Value too large for defined data type

Surprisingly a "ls-R" file that took up over half of my remaining disk
space.
This is what it now looks like

Strange, perhaps something that occurred during updates.
