It asked nothing. I don't know if that's good or bad.

Ok, I assume the file is 95NonPath.cnf. This is interesting, look:
marga@fobos:~$ ls /etc/texmf/texmf.d/
05TeXMF.cnf 55Fonts.cnf 85Misc.cnf.dpkg-old
05TeXMF.cnf.dpkg-old 65BibTeX.cnf 90TeXDoc.cnf
15Plain.cnf 75DviPS.cnf 95NonPath.cnf
45TeXinputs.cnf 75DviPS.cnf.dpkg-old 95NonPath.cnf.dpkg-old
45TeXinputs.cnf.dpkg-old 85Misc.cnf
So, at some point these files where changed and I assume I chose "install
the new maintainer version", but the .dpkg-old files are still there.
And then:
marga@fobos:~$ grep "trie_size " /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf
trie_size = 262000
marga@fobos:~$ grep "trie_size " /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf.dpkg-old
trie_size = 64000
So, for some reason it's using the old one instead of the new one. I'll
keep going with your instructions, anyway.

The differences are quite a lot. I don't really get it, it didn't tell me
anything before, and now it has an awful lot of differences, when I just
changed one line.
The part that interests us:
--- /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf 2005-01-01 11:13:10.000000000 -0300
+++ /tmp/tmp.aoTkVl/texmfXreiK7l 2005-01-24 09:55:52.000000000 -0300
(...)
-%
-trie_size = 64000
+% this must be 262000
+trie_size = 262000

No. Neither me nor the only other admin of this machine are tetex gurus, we
would never touch these files, and specially, we would not change
comments... It looks to me like it's comparing the old version with the
new one, or something like that. Really weird.

Ok, I'm attaching the diff file. I hope you can find a solution to the
mistery.
