[Marcelo] Thanks, but the version that comes with Debian is 2007!, is so old that when I am going to print, it asks to me that puts a clay tablet ;-) In this old version, babel only came with sumerian and hittite ;-) "Debian stable" is old. "Debian testing" has texlive 2009. It is possible to install selected packages from "testing", into an otherwise "stable" debian. (Upgrading everything to "testing" is also possible, but could cause some trouble. "testing" has new software, but sometimes also new bugs.) You need to update two config files for this to work. First, /etc/apt/sources.list, specifying all the debian variants: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free Then, /etc/apt/preferences, set up so that "stable" is preferred but using the other alternatives is possible: Package:* Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority:900 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 800 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=experimental Pin-Priority: 600 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian Pin-Priority: -10 After setting up this, run "apt-get update" You can then run "apt-cache show texlive" to see what versions are available. To just see the versions: apt-cache show texlive | grep Version Version 2009-8 should be an alternative. To install it: apt-get install texlive=2009-8 Or use "aptitude" if you prefer. Other "old" packages can be upgraded in a similiar manner. Helge Hafting
