Not remembering how this thread started, I may be talking out of turn, but I remember that when I was first venturing into Debian I learnt a lot from using dselect. It gave me a broad picture of the system with its dependencies, categories, choice of packages... that would otherwise just have been abstract concepts. Difficult to use? Perhaps the key bindings had to be learnt, but the feeling of knowing what one was doing, of being in control, was, to my mind, much greater than with apt-get, which I now use because I understand things a little better. Just my personal view. Cheers, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You should make sure that you update your packages to the latest version, by issuing: # aptitude full-upgrade No comes the problem. TexLive is installed. But it does not contain LaTeX! I searched in the KPackage software manager for latex but could only find some additional packages like latex-cjk-korean. How do I get LaTeX? Tex-Live should have latex included! LaTeX is typically not included in the tasks you've installed, but that does not mean that you can not install it. It has already been noted in this thread that you have to install the texlive-latex-base package to get a (minimal) LaTeX installation. I have never user KPackage and therefore can't help you with it and it seems as if it has been deprecated. Could you please issue the following commands in order to figure out if your packaging system is configured correctly: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list # apt-cache policy # apt-cache policy texlive-latex-base Unless there is an error in your configuration you should be able to install LaTeX with the following command: # aptitude install texlive-latex-base Note that there are a bunch of frontends for Debian's packaging system, most notably synaptic and aptitude-gtk (not in Lenny). -- .''`.
