P.S. I am using XeTeX for other work and am looking forward to the
texlive-2007 packages becoming stable so that I can install it.
On Ubuntu or Debian?

Norbert
I am running Kubuntu Feisty on a PC.
I have downloaded both the Debian and the Gutsy sources for TeXLive 2007 from
the repositories and tried to make a Feisty package out of them.
I have used prevu to generate tex-common_1.7~7.04prevu1_all.deb and have
installed it successfully.
dpkg -l tex-common
gives
ii tex-common 1.7~7.04prevu1 Common infrastructure for using and building
However, when I try to build the deb for texlive-base or texlive base from
source using prevu, I get the error:
-> Considering build-dep tex-common (>= 1.7)
Tried versions: 1.7~7.04prevu1 0.42
-> Does not satisfy version, not trying
E: Could not satisfy build-dependency.
I have posted to the Ubuntu-Backports web site at:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268687&page=18
but not got an answer yet.
A similar problem is noted at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-backports/2007-May/004587.html
I also tried
sudo apt-get build-dep texlive-base
and got
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Build-Depends-Indep dependency for texlive-base cannot be satisfied because
no available versions of package tex-common can satisfy version requirements
As stated above, I already have tex-common_1.7~7.04prevu1 installed. So this
diagnostic is perplexing.
I do not know how to get the 2007 versions of texlive-base and texlive-bin
compiled from source on Feisty, and hope you can suggest something.
Many thanks.
