Bug#517877: dvi file unreadable
Package: texlive-base-bin
Version: 2007.dfsg.2-4
Severity: normal
When I create a dvi file (using any latex file)
xdvi opens the dvi file, but it looks garbled on the
screen. I use pdflatex which works.
When submitting this bug I found that debconf is returning
errors (see below), but I don't know how to fix these errors.
