When the new packages were installing, it asked me if I wanted to replace
the .cnf files. Since I don't know what I'm doing, I chose to replace what
I had with what the packaged offered. I don't know why that's showing up as
changed.

That's funny. When I look at the same file, I don't see any linebreaks in
that definition. Am I doing something wrong? Vim is telling me that the
TEXMFCNF definition line is 143 chars long.

Like I said, I thought I _was_ using the cnf file that came with the
package. I can't find any texmf.cnf.dpkg-dist file on my system. Since I'm
new to Debian (only about 3 weeks), could you please tell me how to blast my
cnf files with what _certainly_ came with the package?
Thanks.
