Hi, Many thanks for your work on this, Hilmar. Should I open a new bug report in order to support the removal of dvipdfm? For now, the request remains hidden (and unrecognized) in bug logs... BTW, an ebb replacement (extractbb) has been added to dvipdfmx in 2008 so there is no obvious reason anymore to keep the dvipdfm part of texlive-base-bin. Cheers, Jens
