severity 593448 important thanks On Sun, 18 Mar 2012 09:48:06 +0900 Norbert Preining wrote: > Hi Karl, hi Anton, Hi everyone. I am a Debian user (and contributor, but not in the area of TeX or of fonts...). It seems to me that the new texlive-* package versions have just migrated into testing, and I cannot upgrade my Debian testing boxes to them, since I have both scalable-cyrfonts-tex and texlive-fonts-extra installed... I think this bug is at least of severity important, since it means that one has to do without texlive-fonts-extra, if he/she needs scalable-cyrfonts-tex!

Isn't there any way to actually fix this bug and allow the coexistence of scalable-cyrfonts-tex and texlive-fonts-extra? Should I really remove one of these two packages, in order to be able to upgrade my systems? This would be very unfortunate... Is there any alternative TeX font package with good Cyrillic coverage? Any help would be much appreciated!
