Файл-триггеры кешируют шрифты и прочие производные файлы в /var/cache/texmf, и они остаются после удаления пакета. Поскольку имена производных файлов обычно известны - например, /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_dl14.map - следует включить директивы %ghost <file> в соответствующие пакеты с исходными файлами.
Например, при установке и удалении texmf-pgf остаются файлы: /var/cache/texmf/fonts /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_dl14.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/dvipdfm_ndl14.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvips /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/builtin35.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/download35.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/ps2pk.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_pk.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/psfonts_t1.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_dl14.map /var/cache/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex_ndl14.map /var/cache/texmf/ls-R /var/cache/texmf/web2c/aleph /var/cache/texmf/web2c/aleph/aleph.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/aleph/aleph.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/aleph/lamed.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/aleph/lamed.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/luatex /var/cache/texmf/web2c/luatex/lualatex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/luatex/lualatex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/luatex/pdflualatex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/luatex/pdflualatex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/luatex/pdfluatex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/luatex/pdfluatex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/metafont /var/cache/texmf/web2c/metafont/mf.base /var/cache/texmf/web2c/metafont/mf.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/omega /var/cache/texmf/web2c/omega/lambda.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/omega/lambda.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/omega/omega.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/omega/omega.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/amstex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/amstex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/etex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/etex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/latex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/latex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdfetex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdfetex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdflatex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdftex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/pdftex/pdftex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/tex /var/cache/texmf/web2c/tex/tex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/tex/tex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/updmap.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/xetex /var/cache/texmf/web2c/xetex/xelatex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/xetex/xelatex.log /var/cache/texmf/web2c/xetex/xetex.fmt /var/cache/texmf/web2c/xetex/xetex.log
