+ * texconfig-dialog: do not invoke tcdialog as fallback,
+ give up instead. We don't want to install our own (tc)dialog any
+ more, induces curses dependencies. More importantly, texconfig,
+ and especially this interactive configuration, has not been the
+ way we have been moving (or testing) for years now. If there is
+ anyone left who wants to do it, they can install their own dialog
+ (or whiptail) program.

* fmtutil (version): rename to versionfunc, or Solaris sh dies
