Ups. Deja vu. I was wrongly assuming that "rm -f" would exit successfully not only when the file doesn't exist, but also if the directory is not writable.=20= =20 Apropos error checking. Folks, do you think - rm -f /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R + -rm -f /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R 2>/dev/null would be okay? This will just drop and ignore all errors, but I can't imagine any but "can't do that", and in this case we can't do anything but just not do it.
