I am aware.

Obviously something was changed when I manually copied ebcdic.ocp into
/usr/share/texmf/omega/ocp/ and then installed tetex-bin. Now even when
I remove tetex-bin and tetex-extra and delete ebcdic.ocp
from /usr/share/texmf/omega/ocp/ there is no problem re-installing the
tetex-bin package.
