Package: texlive Version: 2005.dfsg.1-1 Severity: normal Warrants higher severity if I have not put my system into some idiosyncratic, oddball state.
I think there's some kind of circular dependency among the the texlive packages; I'm too sleepy to get to the bottom of it. The various tex's have a checkered history on this system. I think I first tried texlive, found it was incompatible with some other stuff, removed it, and installed tetex. In the recent upgrade to KDE 3.5.4 kdegraphics seemed to require texlive packages, but these failed with an error that a file was owned by two packages, and that I should remove texlive. I attempted to do so. I was able to proceed with the dist-upgrade. Then I upgraded kdegraphics, which no longer seemed to require texlive. Then I attempted to install texlive, leading to the kind of errors seen in the attached log. The system currently has tetex and parts of texlive, some of the latter being unconfigured. -- Package-specific info: ###################################### List of ls-R files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2006-08-27 23:16 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE ###################################### Config files total 20 drwx------ 2 ross ross 256 2006-06-26 09:18 Desktop drwxr-xr-x 3 ross ross 256 2006-02-15 21:18 download drwx------ 2 ross ross 48 2006-02-14 10:42 Mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1828 2006-03-31 21:14 pci -rw------- 1 ross ross 0 2006-04-16 15:21 postponed drwxr-xr-x 2 ross ross 80 2006-06-17 16:16 RCS -rw------- 1 ross ross 8612 2006-07-22 12:13 sent -rw-r--r-- 1 ross ross 850 2006-06-25 23:18 testspam total 20 drwx------ 2 ross ross 256 2006-06-26 09:18 Desktop drwxr-xr-x 3 ross ross 256 2006-02-15 21:18 download drwx------ 2 ross ross 48 2006-02-14 10:42 Mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1828 2006-03-31 21:14 pci -rw------- 1 ross ross 0 2006-04-16 15:21 postponed drwxr-xr-x 2 ross ross 80 2006-06-17 16:16 RCS -rw------- 1 ross ross 8612 2006-07-22 12:13 sent -rw-r--r-- 1 ross ross 850 2006-06-25 23:18 testspam total 20 drwx------ 2 ross ross 256 2006-06-26 09:18 Desktop drwxr-xr-x 3 ross ross 256 2006-02-15 21:18 download drwx------ 2 ross ross 48 2006-02-14 10:42 Mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1828 2006-03-31 21:14 pci -rw------- 1 ross ross 0 2006-04-16 15:21 postponed drwxr-xr-x 2 ross ross 80 2006-06-17 16:16 RCS -rw------- 1 ross ross 8612 2006-07-22 12:13 sent -rw-r--r-- 1 ross ross 850 2006-06-25 23:18 testspam total 20 drwx------ 2 ross ross 256 2006-06-26 09:18 Desktop drwxr-xr-x 3 ross ross 256 2006-02-15 21:18 download drwx------ 2 ross ross 48 2006-02-14 10:42 Mail -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1828 2006-03-31 21:14 pci -rw------- 1 ross ross 0 2006-04-16 15:21 postponed drwxr-xr-x 2 ross ross 80 2006-06-17 16:16 RCS -rw------- 1 ross ross 8612 2006-07-22 12:13 sent -rw-r--r-- 1 ross ross 850 2006-06-25 23:18 testspam -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages texlive depends on: pn texlive-context <none> (no description available) pn texlive-doc-en <none> (no description available) pn texlive-fonts-recommended <none> (no description available) pn texlive-latex-base | tetex-ba <none> (no description available) pn texlive-latex-recommended <none> (no description available) texlive recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
