OK... here is what happens... using dselect, select latex, take all default dependencies. It bombs out on texbin. Trying it manually shows this...
# dpkg -C The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured. They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure menu option in dselect for them to work: babel Support for multilingual typesetting with LaTeX ltxgraph Color and graphics in LaTeX latex Write structured documents with TeX psnfss Support for Postscript fonts with LaTeX ltxtool Add on macro packages for LaTeX ltxmisc Additional small styles for LaTeX mfnfss Use additional Metafont fonts with LaTeX amslatex Math extensions for LaTeX from the AMS The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect: texbin TeX - The typesetting system # dpkg --configure texbin Setting up texbin ... dpkg: error processing texbin (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: texbin # Any ideas?
