Bug#337341: tetex-bin: more fmtutil problems :-(
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-9
Severity: normal
A few people have had problems upgrading tetex-bin, and some seem to
have resolved their problems. I've gone a week or so of doing apt-get
upgrades, and tetex-bin still won't install because of a problem with
fmtutils (or so I am lead to believe). Today, I purged jadetex and
tried to get things to finish installing. After purging jadetext, apt
didn't want to install tetex-bin and tetex-extra, instead it wanted
apt-get -f install. Fine, try that. Now jadetex is added to the list
of packages hung on installing.
None of the people reporting bugs on this related topic, have mentioned
xmltex or passivetex, both of which are installed on my machine.
Upgrades to tetex-bin now seem to be tied to removing both xmltex and
passivetex.
Another few days of packaging problems are okay, but once I finish my
generic program to help fop use fonts already installed here as truetype
or type 1, and I am going to want to do some printing which likely will
want to use tetex functionality. At that point, I would be willing to
start experimenting on what to do to get this stuff working again.
Ideas would be nice. A fix would be better. :-)
