Package: tetex-bin Version: 3.0-8.0.sarge1 Severity: normal If one uses updmap-sys with --synctrees or --edit (and possible other options), updmap-sys creates a new updmap.cfg in TEXMFSYSCONFIG/web2c. With Debian, this is /usr/share/texmf/web2c, ie, TEXMFMAIN/web2c. While update-updmap creates updmap.cfg in TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c. With Debian this is /var/lib/texmf/web2c.
The default search path is $TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFSYSVAR,$TEXMFMAIN Hence normally the file in TEXMFSYSCONFIG/TEXMFMAIN is shadowed by the file in TEXMFSYSVAR. However, updmap-sys sets TEXMFCONFIG=TEXMFSYSCONFIG (=TEXMFMAIN on Debian) TEXMFVAR=TEXMFSYSVAR Effectively TEXMFMAIN comes before TEXMFSYSVAR for updmap-sys. This is bad and difficult to debug, since kpsewhich would still list the file in TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c. The ideal solution would probably be if we were able to use a real, separate TEXMFSYSCONFIG (=/etc/texmf?). For the time being it /might/ work to set TEXMFSYSCONFIG=TEXMFVAR (with appropriate symlinks), but I am not sure. An other solution might be to disable all dangerous options of updmap(-sys). I am not sure if it is possible to use the things from 'debianize-updmap' here. texconfig-sys and fmtutil-sys might cause similar problems. cheerio ralf -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-thinkpad Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages tetex-bin depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2 1.4.38 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.10.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libkpathsea4 3.0-8.0.sarge1 path search library for teTeX (run ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libt1-5 5.0.2-3 Type 1 font rasterizer library - r ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System protocol client li ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X pixmap library ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii mime-support 3.28-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor ii tetex-base 3.0-8 Basic library files of teTeX ii ucf 1.17 Update Configuration File: preserv ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- debconf information: tetex-bin/upd_map: true tetex-bin/cnf_name: tetex-bin/fmtutil: true tetex-bin/fmtutil-failed: tetex-bin/userperm: false * tetex-bin/texmf: true tetex-bin/updmap-failed: * tetex-bin/hyphen: ngerman[=naustrian-neue_Rechtschreibung], french[=patois] tetex-bin/oldcfg: true * tetex-bin/use_debconf: false * tetex-bin/groupname: users tetex-bin/groupperm: true * tetex-bin/lsr-perms: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
