Package: tetex-base Version: 2.0.2c-7 Severity: normal
The thing won't install. It seems to be trying to install /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci as an info file, which (of course) explodes. # time nice -19 apt-get -f install tetex-base Reading Package Lists...

Thank you. Press ENTER to continue If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that can be found at http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english) or http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german) ################################## minimal input file ################################## other files ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-r--r-- 1 wli wli 172 May 17 20:37 /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R -rw-rw-r-- 1 root staff 91 May 17 20:37 /usr/local/lib/texmf/ls-R -rw-rw-r-- 1 root users 975 May 17 20:37 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jun 10 13:13 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-mm2-wli-2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages tetex-base depends on: ii debconf 1.4.51 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii texinfo 4.7-2.2 Documentation system for on-line i ii ucf 1.18 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages tetex-bin depends on: ii debconf 1.4.51 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.13.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii ed 0.2-20 The classic unix line editor ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.0-9 GCC support library ii libkpathsea3 2.0.2-30 path search library for teTeX (run ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libt1-5 5.0.2-3 Type 1 font rasterizer library - r ii libwww0 5.4.0-9 The W3C WWW library ii libxaw7 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Athena widget set library ii mime-support 3.34-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii perl 5.8.4-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.4-2 The GNU sed stream editor ii ucf 1.18 Update Configuration File: preserv ii xlibs 4.2.1-12.1 X Window System client libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime Versions of packages tetex-extra depends on: ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii gsfonts 8.14+v8.11+urw-0.2 Fonts for the Ghostscript interpre ii tetex-bin 2.0.2-30 The teTeX binary files ii ucf 1.18 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information: tetex-base/olddat: true tetex-base/fmtutil-failed: tetex-bin/upd_map: true * tetex-bin/cnf_name: tetex-bin/fmtutil: true tetex-bin/fmtutil-failed: tetex-bin/userperm: false tetex-bin/texmf: true tetex-bin/updmap-failed: tetex-bin/hyphen: ngerman[=naustrian-neue_Rechtschreibung], french[=patois] tetex-bin/oldcfg: true tetex-base/oldcfg: true tetex-base/oldupdm: tetex-base/updmap-failed: tetex-bin/use_debconf: false tetex-bin/groupname: users tetex-bin/groupperm: true tetex-bin/lsr-perms: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
