Bug#200264: tetex-bin upgrade fails: conflict with texdoctk
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20011202-8
Severity: normal
This error occurs on a testing system while trying to upgrade from the
above version to 2.0.2-4.1. I'm not sure how usuable TeX is given the
installation problems below.

I tried apt-get -qu upgrade after this, but got about the same errors.
apt-get -qu install tetex-bin texdoctk also didn't work.
