The perception that >50% of the complaints come from people who don't actually need it, even if true, does not change that fact that many people do need it. I have run into several problems -- packages hyperref, luamplib, fontspec, biblatex etc. -- and reported them on this or another list. (That's where this thread started.) In most cases I got replies, even from Windows users, that it's a bug that was fixed long ago. > If there is a problem with diskspace you should create an equivs package, > as described on the web page tug.org/texlive/debian.html > So all settled, unless we assume that people are incapable of reading > the documentation. That page is very helpful indeed. It would be even more so if available in the documentation packaged with tex-common. Dirk
