Why should it? I think most people would be rather annoyed by that. Moreover there might be also other packages that install files in /etc/texmf, but do not depend on tetex-base or tex-common (e.g. because they only Recommend or Suggest it). You should never remove any files or directories in the realm of dpkg unless you know what you are doing. And "knowing" also involves bringing yourself up-to-date, or running dlocate $directory_I_plan_to_remove Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
