Package: tetex-base
Version: 3.0.dfsg.3-5
Severity: grave
Justification: Makes texlive packages unusable
This BR is a follow-up to the discussion on the d-tex-maint mailing list
that starts at [1] and in which a a series of unexpected behavior is
discussed seen while building the Debian Installation Guide after making
the transition from tetex to texlive.
Part of the problems discussed there can be traced to this BR: the fact
that some essential configuration files had gone missing.
Important here is that at some point I decided to *purge* the old tetex
transition packages (which is a completely valid action).
The problem seems to be that the "ownership" of some config files is not
transfered from the old tetex packages (now empty transition packages) to
the corresponding texlive packages.
Attached is a tarball with a series of files that show the changes
in /etc/texmf/ and in installed packages in the following series of
actions:
01 Start situation with cleanly installed texlive, including several
texlive-lang-* packages
02 Purged all TeX related packages: one file not deleted
03 Clean install of Etch tetex packages
04 Upgraded to a somewhat minimal texlive install (without the
texlive-lang-* packages); at this point some "old" tetex config files
are still installed (diff 04 and 07)
05 Purge old transition packages
06 Purge whole installation: 10tipa.cfg remains behind
07 Clean install of texlive again, this time same packages as 04
Here is an overview of differences in /etc/texmf between:
A) an Etch tetex installation, upgraded to texlive
B) a clean texlive installation
The following files are present after A, but not after B:
/etc/texmf/updmap.d/10tipa.cfg
I suspect that this file should have been deleted during the upgrade of
tipa 1.3-4 to 1.3-5, but isn't.
The following files are present after B, but not after A:
/etc/texmf/dvipdfm/config/dvipdfmx.cfg (maybe)
/etc/texmf/dvips/config/config.ps
/etc/texmf/fmt.d/01tetex.cnf (maybe)
/etc/texmf/metafont/misc/modes.mf
/etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
/etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/color.cfg
/etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg
/etc/texmf/tex/latex/config/hyperref.cfg
/etc/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf
Two files are marked as "maybe" as I'm not 100% sure if they should be
installed or not or how they were created. It seems that that the first
was created as the result of a 'texconfig-sys' run (which may also
explain why it was not purged in "02"). I'm unsure about the second as it
was not present in "01", but it was in "07".
Cheers,
FJP

Closes: 420390 420490 421079 421620
Changes:
texlive-base (2007-5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* create tetex-base package to deal with postrm bugginess of tetex-base
(3.0) and removal of config files of TeX Live. This closes several RC
bugs, but upgrades from stable still can show these bugs in the case
that tetex-base is purged at dist-upgrade time. (Closes: #420490,
#420390) [np]
* All the tetex-base package does is remove and deregister with ucf the
file /etc/texmf/language.d/10tetex.cnf in its postinst script. [fk]
* This will also lower the severity of bugs of the type "Uninstallable:
Depends on tetex-base". These bugs are still important, though,
because tetex-base does not provide any functionality and will vanish
after lenny. [fk]
* blacklist intermediate files in mathpazo doc (Closes: #421620)
* backport koma-script r288 to fix the use of \usekomafont in all
koma-script classes (Closes: #421079)
