--- Begin Message --- 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.
