Proposal for tex-common postrm script

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Hi all!

I would suggest that we change the tex-common postrm.in script as
follows:
--- postrm.in   (Revision 183)
+++ postrm.in   (Arbeitskopie)
@@ -19,15 +19,8 @@
 ## do the things we have to do always
 case $action in
   remove)
-    # remove /var/lib/texmf/web2c/*
-    rm -f $TEXMFSYSVAR/web2c/* 
-    rm -f $TEXMFSYSVAR/tex/generic/config/language.dat
-    rm -f $TEXMFSYSVAR/ls-R-LOCAL
-
-    # now remove the directory
-    # (if we were installed with an old version of tetex-base, the
     other package
-    # might have deleted it already)
-    test -d /var/lib/texmf && rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
     /var/lib/texmf || true
+    rm -rf $TEXMFSYSVAR
+    rm -rf /var/cache/fonts
     ;;
   purge)
     # purge texmf_parts


Reason behind: /var/lib/texmf/ is generated by tex-common and files in
there are generated on demand, so we should remove them (eg there are
the generated files from updmap-sys).

Same goes for /var/cache/fonts.

Can I submit, or are there any objections?

Best wishes

Norbert
