Hi, I'm very sorry for this, in particular because we have already discussed this problem in the past but forgot about it before the upload of texlive 2007 to unstable. (And many thanks to Ralf and others for filing the bugs.) The quick fix to make all these packages installable again, and those bugs non-RC, is to just drop the tetex-base dependency (and build-dependency, if applicable). It will not close them, however, because no package should depend on the transitional packages tetex-bin or tetex-extra. Instead, proper texlive dependencies need to be found. I plan to NMU all these bugs (with the "quick fix") as fast as my time permits, and depending on the reaction of maintainers, of course. I'll start with those that have unacknowledged NMUs and try to continue as effectively as possible - please tell me if you are preparing an upload yourself. Please don't take these NMUs as offensive, it's rather my self-punishment for not thinking about filing proper bugs in advance. As always, help for finding proper texlive-dependencies can be found on http://pkg-tetex.alioth.debian.org/mapping-texlive.html and by asking on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Frank It has always been a bug to depend on tetex-base[1] [1] except in some very special, theoretical case which AFAIK does not apply to any package in Debian -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
