  I don't understand why after update-all, the defaultpaper size becomes
  letter size. I think the only possibility is to modify
pdftexconfig.tex. Perhaps  TUL uses letter  default size under some  
conditions ??

  I use only TUL to update my distribution so I don't understand how  
it's possible?


Actually I try 'Change paper size' with TUL and without problem.

I'm waiting for the next update-all  ...
