Hmmm, not for me!  I get a different error, one which doesn't seem to
be solved by reinstalling the old libkpathsea3:

   $ sudo dpkg -i /usr/var/cache/apt/archives/libkpathsea3_1.0.7+20021025-8_i386.deb
   dpkg - warning: downgrading libkpathsea3 from 2.0-1 to 1.0.7+20021025-8.

   dpkg: error processing jtex-bin (--remove):
    subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
   Errors were encountered while processing:
    jtex-bin

Any hints on how I can solve this problem?  jtex-bin being broken seems
to be blocking all my other apt upgrades...

Thanks,

-Miles
