Bug#169799: tetex-base: Please remove "babel" from Conflicts
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20011202-3
Severity: serious
Greetings,
There is no package "babel" in Debian, virtual or otherwise. But I'd
like for there to be, so I filed the ITP in bug 149148 (and am nearly
finished with the packaging).
Unfortunately, it's uninstallable on systems with tetex-base, because of
a conflict with "babel". Was this an old legacy package? What's the
reason for this conflict?
I notice there's an "openbabel", but this has nothing to do with my
babel (nor does it provide a virtual "babel"), and my babel has
next-to-nothing to do with TeX. Therefore, please remove babel from the
list of Conflicts.
(Serious because it makes another unrelated package uninstallable.)
Thanks,
