 Dear Mr. Lindstroem: (sorry my keyboard doesn't have an umlaut)

I found that my tex installation worked fine without having fixed that

bug. It just gave an annoying message after each update, but everything

worked fine. I suspect that uninstalling the TeX distribution and then

reinstalling it might fix the problem. Things worked OK, except for the

annoying update message even after a subsequent upgrade to 14.04.

At present, I am not using that laptop at present, since I bought a new one

a couple of years ago.

Best regards,

Waldo MacKay
