Bug#420390: marked as done (Purging tetex transition packages removes texlive configuration files)
Your message dated Thu, 24 May 2007 18:27:39 + with message-id [EMAIL PROTECTED] and subject line Bug#420390: fixed in tetex-base 3.0.dfsg.3-5etch1 has caused the attached Bug report to be marked as done. This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with. If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the Bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith. (NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what I am talking about this indicates a serious mail system misconfiguration somewhere. Please contact me immediately.) Debian bug tracking system administrator (administrator, Debian Bugs database) ---BeginMessage--- Package: tetex-base Version: 3.0.dfsg.3-5 Severity: grave Justification: Makes texlive packages unusable This BR is a follow-up to the discussion on the d-tex-maint mailing list that starts at [1] and in which a a series of unexpected behavior is discussed seen while building the Debian Installation Guide after making the transition from tetex to texlive. Part of the problems discussed there can be traced to this BR: the fact that some essential configuration files had gone missing. Important here is that at some point I decided to *purge* the old tetex transition packages (which is a completely valid action). The problem seems to be that the ownership of some config files is not transfered from the old tetex packages (now empty transition packages) to the corresponding texlive packages. Attached is a tarball with a series of files that show the changes in /etc/texmf/ and in installed packages in the following series of actions: 01 Start situation with cleanly installed texlive, including several texlive-lang-* packages 02 Purged all TeX related packages: one file not deleted 03 Clean install of Etch tetex packages 04 Upgraded to a somewhat minimal texlive install (without the texlive-lang-* packages); at this point some old tetex config files are still installed (diff 04 and 07) 05 Purge old transition packages 06 Purge whole installation: 10tipa.cfg remains behind 07 Clean install of texlive again, this time same packages as 04 Here is an overview of differences in /etc/texmf between: A) an Etch tetex installation, upgraded to texlive B) a clean texlive installation The following files are present after A, but not after B: /etc/texmf/updmap.d/10tipa.cfg I suspect that this file should have been deleted during the upgrade of tipa 1.3-4 to 1.3-5, but isn't. The following files are present after B, but not after A: /etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config/dvipdfmx.cfg (maybe) /etc/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps /etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf (maybe) /etc/texmf/metafont/misc/modes.mf /etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex /etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/color.cfg /etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg /etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/hyperref.cfg /etc/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf Two files are marked as maybe as I'm not 100% sure if they should be installed or not or how they were created. It seems that that the first was created as the result of a 'texconfig-sys' run (which may also explain why it was not purged in 02). I'm unsure about the second as it was not present in 01, but it was in 07.
