[Hilmar Preusse <hille42@web.de>]

Package: context
Version: 2009.11.26-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

the postrm contains the following code to remove the generated metafun
format files upon package removal:

            if [ "$i" = allformats ] ; then
                for fmt in pdftex/cont-en cont-en xetex/cont-en cont-en
pdftex/mptopdf mptopdf mpost/metafun metafun ; do
                    rm -f /var/lib/texmf/web2c/$fmt.*
                done
            fi
            if [ "$i" = format ] ; then
                for fmt in pdftex/cont-en cont-en xetex/cont-en cont-en
pdftex/mptopdf mptopdf mpost/metafun metafun ; do
                    rm -f /var/lib/texmf/web2c/$fmt.*
                done
            fi

Unfortunately it does not work, the metafun format file sit in
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/metapost, not /var/lib/texmf/web2c/mpost

hille@sid:/var/lib/texmf/web2c $ ls -l /var/lib/texmf/web2c/metapost/
total 664
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   1418 Dec  5 20:53 metafun.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 486760 Dec  5 20:53 metafun.mem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    711 Dec  5 20:49 mfplain.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  56078 Dec  5 20:49 mfplain.mem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  50511 Dec  5 20:49 mplib-luatex.mem
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    418 Dec  5 20:49 mpost.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  50511 Dec  5 20:49 mpost.mem

Hence the format files are not removed.
