Hi,
one mail that I wrote didn't make it to the bug archive and the mailing
list, maybe I sent it only to Gernot? It was mostly wrong, anyway.

In fact. This is something that always happens when you upgrade
(e.g. noninteractively) from woody to sarge and then to etch. The
following piece of code will fix it. Norbert, do you agree that we
should ship the code in tex-common and execute it by tetex-bin and some
texlive package?
This is what should be added to create_localconf:
if [ "$UPDATEPROG" = update-fmtutil ]; then
# if the system has been upgraded from woody, there will be four bogus lines.
# Remove them
tmpfile=`mktexmp`
egrep -v \
"mf[[:space:]]*mf[[:space:]]*-[[:space:]]*mf.ini|\
mfw[[:space:]]*mfw[[:space:]]*-[[:space:]]*mf.ini|\
pdftex[[:space:]]*pdftex[[:space:]]*language.dat[[:space:]]*pdftex.ini|\
omega[[:space:]]*omega[[:space:]]*language.dat*[[:space:]]*omega.ini" \
$DESTFILE > $tmpfile
mv $tmpfile > $DESTFILE
fi
Regards, Frank
