Why tetex-extra_2007 is installed when upgrading from tetex-bin_3.0
Hi,
when upgrading from a system with only tetex-bin installed, aptitude
installs tetex-extra (the transitional package) and hence lots of
unwanted packages. It seems this is because some of the packages on
which texlive (the metapackage) depends Recommend or Depend
"tetex-extra | texlive-latex-foo", and aptitude chooses the first
alternative.
Reminder: File important bugs against all packages which still depend on
tetex-extra (and tetex-bin, while on the way).
Regards, Frank
