upgrade to 2.0.2-4 in debian/testing and config-files
Hi,
I recently upgraded our tex-packages to the newer version. Now, after a few
days I noticed that our old configuration files in /etc/texmf are simply
ingnored.
So after some stracing I found out that those files are read from
'/var/lib/texmf/web2c'!
E.g., we made some changes to '/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf', this file still exists,
a newer file in '/var/lib/texmf/web2c' also exists, but only the file
'/var/lib/texmf/web2c' is used.
IMHO, it is quite unsual to have configuration files within the /var directory
and I think its even more unsual if one is not noticed by the upgrade-script
about those important changes.
I think the upgrade-script told me somethink about overwriting the old config
file and trying to pare it, so I made a back up first. After upgrading the
file had not changed, so I expected everything would work.
Is there a way to have the configuration files back to /etc/texmf?
Thanks,
Bernd
