Bug#870216: tex-common: Old configuration style (still) found in /etc/texmf/fmt.d
Package: tex-common
Version: 6.06
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgraded from jessie (8.9) to stretch (9.1)
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
During install, got the exact same 'Warning: Old configuration style found in
/etc/texmf/fmt.d'
dialog seen in bug 851598. That bug is archived and appears to
claim that it's fixed in tex-common 6.06, but in fact I was
installing tex-common 6.06 and the problem with the extraneous
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/10texlive-math-extra.cnf file still came up.
After poking around 851598 for a while, I ended up doing
'dpkg -P texlive-math-extra' which removed the ancient
file being warned about.
* What was the outcome of this action?
I did not expect the warning on upgrading.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That the upgrade would remove any such leftover configuration
files from packages that had been obsoleted and replaced.
