Package: tetex-bin Version: 2.0.2-30 Severity: normal Hi, this is a spin off from #342247. The submitter refused to replace his hand crafted config files by these from the package, which caused his upgrade to fail. I've experienced similar problems, upon upgrading from woody to sarge but didn't bother to file a bug, as I'm a teTeX maintainer myself. Frank Küster told me in #342247 that I should file a bug as we (the Debian teTeX maintainers) believed we would have put some code into our package scripts, which should have avoided #342247. Unfortunetely it did not help. I had two points of failure: 1. I refused to replace the changed language.dat by that one from the maintainers. The old one referenced the hyph. patterns czhyph2e.tex, which does not exist any more in teTeX 2.0. Hence the build of all formats having hyph. patterns failed. 2. I refused to replace the changed 05TeXMF. The code, which should have introduced VARTEXMF seemed to fail. Hence updmap.cfg was not found. Frank told me, the first case is to hard to handle -> out of luck. We believed we've handeled the second case in the postinst scripts. He published a guildline, which should be done: "I won't have time to investigate this now, but here's what I think should be done: - Check which packages installed files in your texmf.d.tar.bz2 - install those packages in a woody pbuilder - replace texmf.d by the contents of your tar.bz2 - make preinst and postinst scripts use "set -x", e.g. with the contol-overrides mechanism - Do the upgrade... " AFAICS the only package, which put files into my texmf.d was xmltex. -- sigmentation fault
