Bug#207786: tetex-base: upgrade problem with pxfonts: prerm misses /etc/texmf/dvips/updmap

[Michael Below <mbelow@antithese.de>]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20011202-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just tried to upgrade tetex to the current testing version (2.x). This
didn't work because I have pxfonts installed, and their pre-removal
process wants to access updmap. now updmap doesn't exist anymore. This
makes the pxfonts removal break, so the whole upgrade breaks. I think
the new tetex-base package should handle this, as it is the package
removing updmap and conflicting with pxfonts.
