externalfigure is not finding figures in other directories, and I'm not sure if it's something I've messed up while compiling and testing new Ubuntu edgy backport packages. If I have fig.1 (a metapost eps file) in the current directory, then this test file works fine \starttext \externalfigure[fig.1] \stoptext But context won't find 1/fig.1 even if fig.1 is in the 1/ directory. This test file \starttext \externalfigure[1/fig.1] \stoptext produces this error in the log file systems : begin file test at line 1 figures : figure 1/fig.1 can not be found and a dummy figure.
