Hi Claire,
this was fixed in the teTeX-beta from may. Please, make sure not to use
the latest teTeX-texmf tarball in the debian packages.

Hi Thomas,
I've been installing the teTeX beta (src: 20020402; texmf: 20020207) and my
shadow utility detected a number of files with different versions in the
texmf tree, which may be harmful in my opinion if they belong to the same
element of a path. E.g., is there any guarantee that LaTeX will select the
same SIunits.sty file on all platforms if different versions can be found
in tex/latex/misc and in tex/latex/SIunits? Even if there is, one of the
two files is never used and could be deleted.
Best regards,
Luc Van Eycken
