Bug#452070: texlive-base-bin: Unable to install
Dear Norbert,
I just upgraded the two following packages, on behalf to see if something
could improve the situation with texlive. All worked perfectly, the package
texlive-base-bin has been configured after that the 2 were processed, and no
error has been reported.
http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main texinfo 4.11.dfsg.1-2 [710kB]
http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main tex-common 1.10 [710kB]
Thank you again for your help!
Best Regards.
.Yves.
