Of course not, since that would mean that xmltex isn't installable any
more - there's no other TeX system in sid.

 Of course not, since that would mean that xmltex isn't installable any

Citing from the xmltex package:
XMLTeX is a non-validating, namespace-aware XML parser written in TeX.
It allows TeX to directly process XML files.

Usually I process tex files with TeX, not XML files. So I figured I
don't need xmltex. Did I miss something, like texlive converts every
tex/latex file into XML and then uses xmltex?

No, why?  What's the problem you are trying to address?  Was xmltex
pulled in by some package which you installed?  Usually, people who
don't want xmltex shouldn't install it, but for those who install it on
purpose, it also needs a working TeX system underneath.

See bug title.

I don't remember this.

 Usually, people who
 don't want xmltex shouldn't install it, but for those who install it on
 purpose, it also needs a working TeX system underneath.

The problem is, that if you have xmltex installed, an upgrade
from tetex to texlive freezes the system. I think this is worth
addressing quickly, since it is very annoying to have to restart the
system. As I understood from Norberts comment, fixing xmltex might take
a while. So, at present, it would be nice if tex-live-bin would conflict
with xmltex, because it is impossible, as far as I can see, to have both
on the system. Later, of course, this conflict should be removed.

 See bug title.

As Norbert already pointed out, this needs fixes in xmltex.  I was
answering to your proposed solution Couldn't texlive-base-bin conflict
with xmltex, and since you insisted on discussing this, I am asking
why. 

 The problem is, that if you have xmltex installed, an upgrade
 from tetex to texlive freezes the system. I think this is worth
 addressing quickly, since it is very annoying to have to restart the
 system. As I understood from Norberts comment, fixing xmltex might take
 a while. 

No, he wrote about the number of changes, not the time it takes
(Actually the work is already done by us, just the xmltex maintainer is
inactive).  

It wasn't clear to me that you were talking about an interim solution.

Sorry, I should have made that clear.

PLease de-install xmltex, then configuration should succeed. This is in
fact a bug in xmltex, and needs a lot of fixes.
