Your assumptions are correct. teTeX_base,no_x11 is broken in that regard and installing xbase is a workaround. > and if this is the way it will be, wouldn't it be a good idea to make > an xlib38.tgz which would hold only the libs and nothing else, after > all, isn't it the security mantra that don't install anything you > won't use, and xbase is full of binaries which will be never used on a > firewall? If you have enough disk space on your firewall/server, just install xbase and be done. If you don't have the space, you are on your own anyways and can just as well pull tetex/base/Makefile from -current and build your own package with a correct no_x11 FLAVOR. Now I need to get back to porting... Nikolay
