Re: slink --> potato -- tetex-base broken
Eric, a reboot and redownload of the file later, and it works again. I think
we had to manually apt-get install tetex-base .. and as for the dpkg -i
line, before we rebooted, it would hang at that too. After the reboot, it
works again.
<shrug>
Thanks for your help. :) I hope someone can figure out from the little
scattered bits what broke... :)
