Hi,
It turned out to be my mistake. I have to use
\usepackage[dvips]{color}
\usepackage{dvipscol}
instead of
\usepackage{color,dvipscol}
Two things I'd like to let you know:
1. etch behaves differently as it allows the short form of invocation for both `latex` and `pdflatex`.
2. It may annoy me to not get any reaction. But at the end it's Debian who suffers.
Bye
Caspar
