unstable dist tetex-base package broken
On my mostly unstable dist machine, I'm getting the following errors
installing the tetex-base package:
Selecting previously deselected package tetex-base.
(Reading database ... 72453 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace tetex-base 1.0-10 (using
tetex-base_1.0.2+20011202-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement tetex-base ...
dpkg: error processing tetex-base_1.0.2+20011202-1_all.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/texmf/xdvi/xdvi.cfg', which is also in
package tetex-bin
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
tetex-base_1.0.2+20011202-1_all.deb
Fortunately, I was able to solve this by uninstalling tetex-bin (and all
packages dependent on it, ugh), installing tetex-base, then reinstalling the
said stuff.
I just thought you might find this info useful for the install scripts.
