You forgot that we once had a symlink /usr/share/texmf/web2c -> /var/lib/texmf/web2c. It might be that some intermediate buggy version, alone or together with a user messing things up, caused these files to show up there. Or some buggy installation script of whatever. > I guess we should simply remove it. As the submitter already purged > the old installation we can't do dig further into this. There were some old bug reports or discussions on the list where people sent a listing of the directory. I don't recall what was in there - but essentially we can and should check fmtutil.cnf, updmap.cfg, *.log, and all format files (*.fmt, *.efmt, *.oft et al) Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f.
