Bug#361998: tetex-base: some problems with upgrading

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 3.0-17
Severity: normal

I just did a full upgrade test for tetex-base, bin, extra from woody to
sarge an on to sid+current SVN.

All is well, all the obsolete woody conffiles are removed, but there's
still some cruft left:

# ls /etc/texmf/
fmt.d			  language.d		     pdftex	texmf.d   varfontdirs.debian.preinst-bak
fmtutil.cnf.postinst-bak  language.dat.postinst-bak  texmf.cnf	updmap.d  xdvi.cfg

So we have a preinst-bak file which should have been removed, and an
empty pdftex directory.

After purging everything, including tex-common and texinfo, we still have:

# ls /etc/texmf/
fmt.d  fmtutil.cnf.postinst-bak  language.dat.postinst-bak  varfontdirs.debian.preinst-bak

fmt.d contains:

99postinst.cnf

This shouldn't exist if nobody has changed files in that directory; it
contains 

mf		mf		-		mf.ini
mfw		mfw		-		mf.ini
pdftex		pdftex		language.dat	pdftex.ini
omega		omega		language.dat	omega.ini

ans lots of commented lines.  The postinst-bak files should be also
removed upon purge.

Just a reminder,
Frank
