Only for sake of preciseness, I would like to know even if
you upgraded to 1.0.7+20011202-8 (NOT -7) with the correct
tetex-bin_1.0.7+20011202.orig.tar.gz, it failed to upload?

I checked beta version a bit and it seemed to be
teTeX-src-beta-20020901.tar.gz at present.
Then we should buid the package with version 1.0.7+20020901 ?
I'm afraid that 1.0.7 is not so correct in this case...

And from the above, I understood we only would update tetex-bin
to the beta version and did not touch tetex-base at all, is this
right?

I will try this anyway (but I can't foresee the result yet).
