Dear Norbert, Thank you for your help.
/usr/bin/kpsewhich is not present. PATH is: .:..:/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin I gave the installation a try again. There is the output, if it can help: ----- Réception de : 1 ftp://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main texlive-common 2007-13 [78,5kB] Réception de : 2 ftp://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main texlive-base-bin 2007.dfsg.1-2 [2378kB] 2456ko réceptionnés en 4s (568ko/s) Lecture des champs des paquets...
