Dear sirs,
Thank you for maintaining Debian.
I have the following problem with tetex-extra:
Command "apt-get install tetex-extra" fails
Error something like "command ptex not found"
Workaround
apt-get install ptex-bin
(Gives error code depends on tetex-extra)
finally
apt-get install tetex-extra ptex-bin
gets tetex-extra installed
regards,
Magnus Sundberg

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
