Help with LaTeX permissions

["Pedro I. Sanchez" <sanchez@ctidata.com>]

Hello,

I just install the latest release from Debian and I decided to try (again)
the LaTeX packages. But again I am running into problems. I compile a test
document with no problems, but whe I try dvips (or xdvi) I get the
following:

[.... Text on font metrics generation deleted]

Font metrics written on cmr10.tfm.
Output written on cmr10.300gf (128 characters, 13184 bytes).
Transcript written on cmr10.log.
mkdir: cannot make directory `/var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk/deskjet':

chmod: /var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk/deskjet: No such file or directory
/var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk/deskjet: MakeTeXPK could not create directory.
mv: cannot move `cmr10.300pk' to
`/var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk/deskjet/pktmp.1158': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/MakeTeXPK: Could not mv cmr10.300pk
/var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk/deskjet/pktmp.1158.
/usr/bin/MakeTeXPK: /var/spool/texmf/fonts/pk/deskjet: No such file or
directory
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
dvips: Font cmr10 not found, characters will be left blank.

It looks to me that there are some errors in the way some permissions are
set in some packages, or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help,

Pedro Ivan
