I guess the problem is the following code texlive-base-bin.preinst:

handle_config_file_preinst ()
{
...
    case "$cfgfile" in
	...
    esac
		### HERE WE DO SOMETHING WITH xdvi.cfg!!!! AS IT IS 
    check_move $conf_oldpath $cfgfile $version
		### AND HERE WE DO SOMETHING MORE WITH xdvi.cfg,
		### ALTHOUGH IT HAS ALREADY BEEN MOVED AWAY!!!
    # special case for xdvi.cfg: 
    # old texlive version takes precedence of old tetex version
    case $cfgfile in
        /etc/texmf/xdvi/xdvi.cfg)
            # old tetex version was moved already
            check_move /etc/texmf/texlive/xdvi.cfg $cfgfile $version
            ;;
    esac
}


I guess the end should be:

    case "$cfgfile" in
        ...
    esac
    case $cfgfile in
        /etc/texmf/xdvi/xdvi.cfg)
            # old tetex version was moved already
            check_move /etc/texmf/texlive/xdvi.cfg $cfgfile $version
            ;;
        *)
            check_move $conf_oldpath $cfgfile $version
            ;;
    esac
}

Comments? Frank especially since you have written the
preinst/postinst/unwind code?

Best wishes

Norbert
