Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-5.1
Severity: serious
What tetex-bin.postinst does, namely:
if [ -e $FMTCNF -a ! -e $FMTCNF.dpkg-old ]
then
echo "$FMTCNF is now not a conffile and should be generated by $UPDFMT."
echo "Old $FMTCNF would be moved as $FMTCNF.dpkg-old"
mv $FMTCNF $FMTCNF.dpkg-old
fi
if [ -x $UPDFMT ] ; then
$UPDFMT -v
fi
is incompatible with Debian policy when it says "local changes to
configuration files *must* be preserved during a package upgrade".
Since /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf has now what fmtutil.cnf used to
have, I suggest that in an upgrade from potato, /etc/texmf/fmtutil.cnf
is not renamed but instead it's copied to /etc/texmf/fmt.d/00tetex.cnf
before fmtutil is called. This would preserve user changes, at least.
[ Sorry, I don't see an easy workaround for mktex.cnf ].
