Bug#329658: tetex-extra depends on ptex-bin for installation but not specified in package requirement

[Magnus Sundberg <Magnus.Sundberg@dican.se>]

Hi,

My system was upgraded from Woody. At that time I failed to get 
the tetex-extra package installed, I do not know why. But I have 
now verified that I now can install tetex-extra without having 
ptex-bin installed. I do not know how this old bug propagated 
through my system.

Please close the bug

Magnus
