I'm not suggesting that woody installed the files in /usr/local, but it seems like how it handles the path ordering may have changed. I reported this issue because I haven't experienced it before, on other sarge upgrades, with the same setup, done over the last couple of weeks. To work around, I'll try unmounting the NFS /usr/local, installing & remounting. That should work, I'll let you know. As to why the files are there at all: We maintain a bunch of unpackaged, non-Debian stuff in /usr/local. There are some overlaps, such as this one, where we needed newer versions of tetex and friends. Obviously you wouldn't be expected to support such configurations, but perhaps there's a way to handle them "gracefully"? Perhaps the ordering should try the package's default directory first, and then the /usr/local (and other locations) later?
