This is actually a bug in latex-ucs-doc not in tex-common which has been reported (#388376 and #388407) before. It is fixed in latex-ucs 20041017-6. If I interpret latex-ucs's changelog correctly, this problem was introduced in version 20041017-4 uploaded on 2006-09-10. Matrin, is that correct? I am not sure if we need a versioned conflict or replace to cover such a case. Other oppinions? cheerio ralf
