Bug#93839: texmf.cnf gets overwritten
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20000804
When I modify /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf to set VARTEXFONTS to a different
directory (I use per-user font caches in /tmp) and upgrade tetex-base,
the postinstall script happily rewrites it back to the default value.
I consider it a bug as texmf.cnf is oficially a configuration file,
hence all modifications should be subject to at least backing up the
original version if the user has modified it.
Have a nice fortnight
