I hate to be a pest, but I'm running into more problems while trying to
purge some of these packages. Fink is refusing to remove these packages,
due to dependency problems.
I get dependency errors while trying to get rid of pdftex (dpkg:
dependency problems prevent removal of pdftex: context depends on pdftex
(>= 20010417-9)) and tetex-texmf (dpkg: dependency problems prevent
removal of tetex-texmf: tetex-base depends on tetex-texmf (>= 2.0-1);
however: Package tetex-texmf is to be removed.)
When I try to remove tetex-base, I'm told that
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of tetex-base:
hyperref depends on tetex-base (>= 1.0-12).
pdftex depends on tetex-base (>= 1.0-12).
context depends on tetex-base (>= 1.0-12).
dvipdfm depends on tetex-base (>= 1.0-12).
oberdiek depends on tetex-base (>= 1.0-12).
context depends on tetex-base (>= 1.0-12).
dpkg: error processing tetex-base (--purge):
dependency problems - not removing
When I try to remove bundle-tetex (I figured that this should include
all of the tetex-related files) I'm told
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove bundle-tetex which isn't
installed.
I seem to be running around in circles with these dependency problems.
Any hints as to where I should go from here?
I've included the original error message from pdftex below.
Thanks!
James
