[8/9] update: purifyeps (12489 -> 12498) ... The following files
should be removed due to the removal of purifyeps,
but are part of another package, too.
 texmf/doc/man/man1/a2ping.1 - a2ping
 texmf/doc/man/man1/a2ping.pdf - a2ping
done

after:
tlmgr show purifyeps
Package:    purifyeps
Category:   Package
ShortDesc:  Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX.
LongDesc:   While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary
shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to
read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common
graphics format in the LaTeX world. Purifyeps converts EPS files into
a purifiedâ form that can be read by both LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX.
The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse
MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an
arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost
outputs.
Installed:  Yes
Revision:   12498
Collection: collection-binextra

(so it was not removed)
