Re: [AUCTeX] preview files conflicting

[Carlos]

Arash: 

If I'm not mistaken, with make uninstall AucTeX:

prauctex.cfg among other files are removed, right?

prauctex.def
prcounters.def
preview.sty
prfootnotes.def
prlyx.def
prshowbox.def
prshowlabels.def
prtightpage.def
prtracingall.def

Now, on the TeX side, they are untouched. Correct?

I had the pre-compiled 'texlive-extra' (part of TeXlive) which includes the 
same files than above, and you can check the list of files here:

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/texlive-latexextra/

I did not, however, followed the convention by the user over at 

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=173306

My installation of AucTeX consisted not of a package like the user, and yet the 
results were identical. 

That is, AucTeX had to be removed first, before texlive could be installed, 
hence the 'conflicting files' warning. 

By the way, I thought TeXlive got rid of the 'texmf' directory and kept 
'texmf-dist' as the de facto TDS. Unless my memory is faulty, which wouldn't 
surprise me. But I believe it happened a couple of years ago. (not my memory 
issue, but the changes on texlive to only have texmf-dist instead of texmf) :)

Of course, this happened a while back with another distro and they ended up 
removing it to close the issue, but circumstances changed if it is true that 
texmf no longer is used.

Have a good one Arash. Take care guys.
