I had added TeXLive for Debian for my Etch.install, all worked well,
until an upgrade.
So I decided to remove TeXLive again and install Tetex, but now aptitude
seems to be caught in a trap. How do I get aptitude free?
This is the output from aptitude:
Extracting templates from packages: 100%
Preconfiguring packages ...

Press return to continue.
In order to remove dvipdfmx dpkg runs update-texmf and mktexlsr -- but
these are no longer on the machine. How do I get these programs away or
how do I solve this problem?
