Source: texlive-lang Version: 2020.20200925-2 Severity: important I've noticed that the upgrade to the texlive-lang packages changed the pdftexconfig.tex file from
/var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex to /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/tex-ini-files/pdftexconfig.tex (as seen in "tl-paper status" output). This apparently breaks paper size configuration: after setting the papersize to letter with "dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1", I now get: cventin:~> tl-paper status Current context paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/tex/context/user/cont-sys-paper.tex): letter Current dvipdfmx paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/dvipdfmx/dvipdfmx-paper.cfg): letter Current dvips paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/config-paper.ps): letter Current pdftex paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex): a4 Current xdvi paper size (from /var/lib/texmf/xdvi/XDvi-paper): letter i.e. the pdftex paper size has not been affected.
