THis is strange. Can you please tell us the version of feynmf which you
have as candidate:
	apt-cache policy feynmf

For me it looks that the depends/suggests of feynmf should allow texlive
as first alternative, and allows installation:

Depends: tex-common (>= 0.7), perl, texlive-base-bin | tetex-bin, texlive-latex-base | tetex-bin, texlive-font-utils | tetex-bin, texlive-extra-utils | tetex-bin
Suggests: texlive-metapost | tetex-extra

I will check this a bit later in a chroot.

Best wishes

Norbert
