About a problem with the new texlive packages
Dear people,
I was so excited to see that Norbert released some pre-packages of tl 2009
that I couldn't resist and I installed it on both a sid system of mine (my
main workstation) and on an Ubuntu karmic.
For the Ubuntu karmic, I had to compile libpoppler4, as karmic only has
libpoppler5. No big deal here.
Just a minor problem upgrading from Ubuntu, which is a conflict with
texlive-binaries and freetype1-tools both providing /usr/bin/ttf2tfm:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Reading database ... 156768 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking texlive-binaries (from
.../texlive-binaries_2009~svn15596-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing

trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/ttf2tfm', which is also in package

dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of texlive-base:
texlive-base depends on texlive-binaries (>= 2008); however:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Just a versioned dependency relation would take care of it.
So far, things have been working quite well (I just wish that we had a
little bit more fine grained choices in the installation), but your job is
superb.
Thank you so very much, Rogério.
P.S.: I know that luatex is getting a lot of attention these days (despite
the fact that I never used it yet), but is luatex a hard dependency of
texlive-base? Oh, talking about dependencies, thank you for getting rid of
ed as a dependency of tl2009. :-)
