Hi all, > If I read the upgrade log correct, dblatex got first deconfigured and > later *removed* during the distupgrade. Actually most of the texlive > stack seems to get removed (including texlive-binaries, which ships > mktexlsr). Why did this happen? What was the actual command you used to
That is normal. texlive-base breaks against all old packages to make sure there is no mixture of 2014 and 2016 packages. This has been used since about 2005(?) > > # A call to 'mktexlsr' is needed to register the dblatex TeX files > > # in the TeX database '/var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN'. There is a simple bug here: * no dependency on texlive-binaries, which provides mktexlsr Furthermore, it would be much simpler to *NOT* do anything as mktexlsr is called automatically (trigger on /usr/share/texmf). Since the postinst script does nothing else TeX related, it would be the simplest solution to completly drop the code about mktexlsr.
