Uhm... no. What I meant was just a plain "make installworld" followed
by "make check-old" on -current after having already run "make
delete-old" previously.

What we want to know is "is this file removed by error?". We can see
this by having a clean -current and then running "make check-old". We
get a clean current either by installing a snapshot on a fresh
partition, or by rerunning the installworld on a system where
delete-old was run.

I just did a check-old on a -current system. Those files exist here
too, but they are empty (0 bytes).

Now the question is: are they supposed to be there and are they
supposed to be empty? I hope someone with some clues about this "tmac"
stuff will read this. I will remove those two files from
ObsoleteFiles.inc in a day if nobody tells us that their existence is a
bug.

Bye,
Alexander.
