You are right. I was fooled because Thiemo somewhere said that a common cache would "break" mktexmf, in the sense as it broke in the FTBFS bug that originally caused this discussion. If that would be a problem, per-user directories would help, but since it isn't a problem, we do not need this "solution" to it. In fact IMO there is no problem at all, at least not one that is important enough to care about now. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
