Hi,
just noticed that /etc/texmf/ls-R conatins lines like updmap.cfg.rpmsave and similar trash. I doubt this is wanted. Is it worth to bug report this?
cu, Rudi
They is not trash, They are config files the were saved by YaST during software updates.
Actually they are backups of config files and shouldn't be used. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sometimes they have to be used, the new config doesn't have your changes. So you have to take a look and decide. However, the file belongs to a package: cer@minas-tirith:~> rpm -qf /etc/texmf/ls-R texlive-2010-4.6.noarch and it should not contain lines referring any rpmsave file, that's a packaging error, although probably harmless. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

The `ls-R' files are generated by texhash on the fly erven if listed int the spec file, e.g. %attr(0664,root,%{texgrp}) %verify(not md5 size mtime mode) %{_texmfconfdir}/ls-R Any bug report will be closed as invalid, as the`ls-R' are the data base for the kpathsea library used to find files below the TeX directory trees.

However ".rpmsave" files are just backups of formerly used config files and ".rpmnew" are there to be merged manually if wanted. Both ones shouldn't be used for anything. So either such files should not be written below /etc/texmf/ or they should grepped away from "ls -LRa". cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
