reassign 318372 tetex-base retitle 318372 Obsolete map files in /etc/texmf/dvips not removed during upgrade thanks
I'm very sorry that nobody among the people processing upgrade reports has communicated this to the TeX Task Force. In fact this bug exists in sarge, but it has been fixed in etch. At least in a way: The duplicate files are still there, but they are no longer used. Nikolaus Schulz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > as far as I can see, I've had the same problem here.

The issue is documented in (sarge's) tetex-base's README.Debian, section "2. Changes in handling of map files (unneeded files in /etc/texmf/dvips)" Although the warning will dissappear when upgrading to etch, even if the files have not been removed as described in the README, I think we better clean them up. And we already have code for this in the package, but I just found that it doesn't work. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
