Eugene Konev reminded me (in #debian-bugs) that a fix is needed to the postrm as well. Since kpsewhich can return both fmt and efmt, the trivial thing is to look for both:
# remove fmt and efmt files XMLTEXFMT=$(kpsewhich xmltex.efmt xmltex.fmt) || true PDFXMLTEXFMT=$(kpsewhich pdfxmltex.efmt pdfxmltex.fmt) || true rm -f $XMLTEXFMT $PDFXMLTEXFMT The more complete attached patch does that. Don Armstrong -- America was far better suited to be the World's Movie Star. The world's tequila-addled pro-league bowler. The world's acerbic bi-polar stand-up comedian. Anything but a somber and tedious nation of socially responsible centurions. -- Bruce Sterling, _Distraction_ p122 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
