Re: [MiKTeX] etex

[Juris F. <ju...@ve...>]

Dear colleagues,

Yesterday I did my weekly upgrade of MiKTeX 2.9 (under Windows 7) on two 
computers one after another. I was forced to remove etex (I wanted to 
uncheck the removal of etex on the second one but was not allowed to do 
so). As always, after the update I launched "Settings (Admin)" and was 
required to install miktex-etex-base-2,9 "on the fly", in order to be 
able to update formats. But this last package is not duly recognized by 
the whole MiKTeX system. Clicking on "Packages" tab creates "MiKTeX 
Problem Report" that miktex-etex-base-2,9 is an unknown package. And 
repeated launch of MiKTeX update copystart_admin.exe tells that just 
this package must be repaired. I launched the "repair", 
copystart_admin.exe seemingly did its job, but after that nothing was 
really changed.
