#56734: dblatex @0.3.10_2 +mactex polutes texmf-local

 Priority:  Normal       |  Milestone:

-------------------------+----------------------
 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 texmf-local to some out-of-date style files.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 The outdated style files are: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.
