Just to make sure, we know what is going on: Please add the following two lines below the "#!/bin/sh -e" (first line) in /var/lib/dpkg/info/tex-common.preinst: exec > /tmp/non_existing_file 2>&1 set -x and run again "dpkg --configure tex-common". Compress the resulting file in /tmp and send it in. Regards, Hilmar -- sigmentation fault -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
