--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.4-4 Severity: normal I'm writing 'strange' because I guess it will turn out to be quite logical in the end, but first it looks like it's just wrong: aptitude install texlive Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Initializing package states... Done Building tag database... Done The following packages are BROKEN: feynmf prosper [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: feynmf: Depends: texlive-font-utils but it is not installable or tetex-bin but it is not installable Depends: texlive-extra-utils but it is not installable or tetex-bin but it is not installable prosper: Depends: tetex-extra but it is not installable or texlive-pstricks but it is not installable Resolving dependencies... The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Install the following packages: texlive-generic-recommended [2005.dfsg.3-1 (stable)] texlive-pstricks [2005.dfsg.3-1 (stable)] Keep the following packages at their current version: feynmf [Not Installed] Leave the following dependencies unresolved: texlive-metapost recommends feynmf Score is -279 Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies. Abort. So now, what's going on with tl-font-utils and tl-extra-utils? root@riesling:/# apt-cache policy texlive-font-utils texlive-font-utils: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2005.dfsg.2-12 Version table: 2005.dfsg.2-12 0 500 http://localhost etch/main Packages Same for extra utils, so why does it claim they aren't installable? For prosper, I would have suspected that the reason is that the package has a couple of Depends of the type "tetex-$foo | texlive-bar", with tetex coming first. But for feynmf this is not the case... Prosper is particularlz strange, since texlive-pstricks *is* finally installed. I think the best solution would be to install those packages, although I admit that it's suboptimal that the texlive metapackage depends (indirectly) on packages which pull in texlive packages not directly pulled in by texlive.
