Description Hardy Mayer 1999-05-20 17:58:13 UTC 
The upgrade 5.2->6.0 (from Cheapbytes CD-ROM) left the
following two directories empty:
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/source/public/cm.

I had to run rpm -ihv --force 2 or 3 times on
tetex-0.9-17.i386.rpm
tetex-latex-0.9-17.i386.rpm
tetex-afm-0.9-17.i386.rpm
to get all the files properly installed.

This happened on two different machine -- so it wasn't a
fluke, and the rpm files were identical to those on the
mirros of the distribution.

Did a cdrom upgrade 5.2->6.0 using Red Hat media.  When completed
the directories /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base and
/usr/share/texmffontssource/public/cm were empty.  The tetex rpm
contains entries for the files in the second directory, and
tetex-latex contains entries in the first directory.
