Hi, that's partly because pdfjam still prefers tetex-extra. tetex was removed from Debian ages ago, and is a transitional package which pulls in just about everything.
It helps a lot already to swap the preference in the dependencies. Also, I know nothing about how pdfjam works internally, but why does it need fonts at all? All the fonts it needs shuold already be in the original PDF documents it mangles? Martin -- Martin Pitt | http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org)
