Package: dvipdfmx Version: 1:20040411-4 Severity: important dvipdfmx declares:
Depends: tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin, tetex-base | texlive-base-bin, dvipdfm, ... dvipdfm only existed in potato. In sarge it is provided by tetex-bin, in etch by tetex-bin or texlive-base-bin. But this causes upgrade problems, and dvipdfm never was supposed to survive as a virtual package. Therefore, texlive-base-bin in unstable has stopped to Provide: dvipdfm. The unfortunate consequence is that now dvipdfmx is no longer installable with texlive - we were not aware of this. So either dvipdfm should drop the dependence on dvipdfm, and instead depend on the respective tetex or texlive packages directly. Or else we should agree on a dvipdfm virtual package with a defined functionality and reintroduce it. What is the functionality from the old dvipdfm package that dvipdfmx needs? Just some files in /usr/share/texmf*/?
