Hi Frank, There is a serious problem with the latest tex-common upload to bpo: the first line of its postinst is: ::>// (looks like eperl stuff) which results in: Setting up tex-common (0.30~bpo.1) ... dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation script: Exec format error dpkg: error processing tex-common (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Regards, -- Florent
