Configuration file shadowed?
Hi,
Today, when upgrading my unstable box, I got a debconf message
from the package tex-common, to wit:
“The mechanism of TeX font caching has changed, requiring the
installation of /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf. On your
system, /etc/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf exists with possible local
changes, and makes the new file invisible to TeX. Font
caching might not work until the setting of MT_FEATURES has
been transferred to your configuration file.”
What does this imply? Why are configuration files (I am
assuming that something called mktex.cnf is actually a configuration
file) being installed in /usr/share/? What exactly is the usewr
supposed to do, anyway? If nothing, why is there a debconf notice?
