The {tetex-base, tetex-bin, tetex-extra} set in experimental doesn't purge cleanly

[Florent Rougon <f.rougon@free.fr>]

Hi,

I found that the following sequence consistently leads to a bug:

# dpkg -P tetex-extra tetex-bin tetex-base tex-common

[...]

# apt-get install -t experimental tetex-bin tetex-extra
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  tetex-base tex-common
Suggested packages:
  dvipng chktex lacheck rubber lpr
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra tex-common

[...]
\label{everything-is-ok-here}
# dpkg -P tetex-extra tetex-bin tetex-base

[...]

# apt-get install -t experimental tetex-bin tetex-extra
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  tetex-base
Suggested packages:
  dvipng chktex lacheck rubber lpr
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra

[...]

and now compiling the following document with pdflatex:

,----
| \documentclass{article}
| \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
| \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
| 
| \begin{document}
| Bah.
| \end{document}
`----

gives:

whereas it worked correctly in \ref{everything-is-ok-here}. I don't know
where this `././var/cache/fonts' comes from.
