-------------------------+----------------------
When installing dblatex +mactex, a series of symlinks are created in
texmf-local to some out-of-date style files. More recent versions of
these style files (in one case much more recent) are available in MacTeX
already and so there is no need to install them. Indeed, installing them
in this fashion is problematic as their placement in texmf-local means the
more recent versions are not used by any documents compiled on the system.
The outdated style files are:
{{{
Style file MacTeX 2018 version package linked
version
attachfile.sty 2016/09/18 v1.9 2006/03/28 v1.2a
bibtopic.sty 2006/09/08 v1.1a 2002/08/22 v1.0k
enumitem.sty 2011/09/28 v3.5.2 2004/07/19 v1.0
lastpage.sty 2015/03/29 v1.2m 1994/06/25 v0.1b
ragged2e.sty 2009/05/21 v2.1 2003/03/25 v2.04
}}}
Additionally dummyels.sty, unicode.sty, and xecyr.sty are available in
MacTeX in the same versions as dblatex installs, so they aren't really
needed either (though they don't create the same problem).
At the very least, a warning about these linked files should be included
in the port's post-installation notes.
