Bug#460559: tetex-extra: aptitude remove tetex-extra fails



Hi,


I finally found a solution, but I have not found any time yet to report
back, so thanks for beating me to it, Hilmar.

updmap-sys --syncwithtrees

This gave the same error.

updmap-sys --edit

This just showed the config file in a pager.

I wanted to do this. But dpkg always returned with this error.


I finally found [1] and the /usr/share/texmf-tetex (or texlive – I do
not remember and I do not have access to the computer now) was not in my
paths either. Unfortunately there were no information about what tools
to use, to modify the paths. Therefore I manually edited the config file
by adding the path to dvips35.map to a variable in the beginning. Then
the file could be found and tetex-extra could be removed by aptitude.

So before closing this report, can somebody just tell everybody about
the instructions to edit the paths

kpsewhich --show-path=map

finds.


Thanks a lot.

Paul
