Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-31
Severity: important

Today I upgraded from Debian etch security repository a machine and
found this problem:

baanlnx:/baan/etc# LC_ALL=C apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done

Setting up tetex-bin (3.0-31) ...
No alternatives for oxdvi.bin.
dpkg: error processing tetex-bin (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of texlive-pstricks:
 texlive-pstricks depends on texlive-base | tetex-bin; however:
  Package texlive-base is not installed.
  Package tetex-bin is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing texlive-pstricks (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tetex-bin
 texlive-pstricks
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The failing statement is "update-alternatives --remove-all oxdvi.bin"
that fails with message "No alternatives for oxdvi.bin."

Bye,
Giuseppe

We are really sorry for this fault! teTeX is right now only available
in old-oldstable. Hence we can't fix any more. Please consider to
upgrade to TL.

I close that bug now.
