Description of problem: A little while after upgradining to texlive I noticed that an "rpm -Va" gave these errors: missing /var/lib/texmf/dvips/config/config.generic missing /var/lib/texmf/default.ls-R missing /var/lib/texmf/dvipdfm/config/config missing c /var/lib/texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf I assume it is the tmpwatch call in /etc/cron.daily/texlive.cron that causes this. I haven't yet seen any problems because these files are missing. But it seems wrong that some texlive packages contains files that other texlive packages will remove as part of a cleanup step. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texlive-2007-30.fc9 texlive-texmf-2007-22.fc9 texlive-texmf-dvips-2007-22.fc9
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The crontab is no longer present in texlive-2007-42.fc11.x86_64, so this will not happen any more.
texlive-2007-46.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
