Yes, the old conffiles will never work. If you choose to keep them upon upgrade, you have to go through the differences and merge the important changes - especially the setting of the TEXMF variable in texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf and the variables that form its parts. As for the conffiles in /etc/texmf/updmap.d, there are some map files that have been renamed, so the files referenced in the old conffiles are no longer available, and updmap will fail. BTW it's new in teTeX-3.0 that updmap fails when map files are missing, previously this was just a warning. > Hmm.

How can I fix this? map files at the old locations, if from a Debian package, should not be a problem - just wait for the Debian package to be fixed. If there's not just a warning, but an error that causes the postinst to fail, you have local changes in your conffiles and should merge them. More than this information I cannot give - we need the specific error messages you get (and of course the commands that caused them). Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ.
