Re: tetex-bin: formats not build [solved]
[I can't quote the previous messages (I've lost them), sorry]
Sorry for not having opened a bug when I reported my problem... will do
next time!
I was using Woody fileutils package. If there has been security updates
for this package, then I can't say which version I was using. Some time
after the upgrage to Sarge coreutils, my system became a mess. Suddenly
Gnome stops loading the window manager. Then the 'ps' program was
gone. Then 'df' and 'grep' returned segmentation faults. Finally, I
reinstalled from scratch. I doubt not that I must have made some stupid
things as root... So the problem was certainly beyond the scope of this
mailing-list :) (and beyond my scope, actually...)
Thanks again for your help,

then apt-get install tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra from testing or
