Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20021025-7
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/xdvi

Hello,

the recent tetex-upgrade completely broke xdvi on my system:

    voss@automatix [~/Uebung/einfmath/2002w] xdvi blatt08.dvi 
    Perl v5.800.0 required (did you mean v5.008?)--this is only v5.8.0, stopped at /usr/bin/xdvi line 26.
    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/xdvi line 26.
