Bug#392573: tex-common: updmap should warn not to use --edit and --syncwithtrees
Package: tex-common
Version: 0.30~bpo.2
Severity: important
As has been pointed out in a recent mail to the long-closed bug #334658,
users still use --edit and --syncwithtrees. I think updmap should be
patched to issue a big fat warning with syncwithtrees, and let the user
proceed only if he types "Yes, I do know what I am doing".
Regards, Frank
