Package: octave2.1-forge, texlive-lang-polish Severity: wishlist Look at this, a fortunate coincidence:
$ findpkg bin/mex oldstable usr/bin/mex math/octave-forge stable usr/bin/mex math/octave-forge testing usr/bin/mex tex/texlive-lang-polish usr/bin/mex2.1 math/octave2.1-forge unstable usr/bin/mex tex/texlive-lang-polish usr/bin/mex2.1 math/octave2.1-forge Although the TeX incarnateion of the mex binary (actually a symlink) has been introduced into Debian only recently, it has been in use in the TeX community for years. The same is probably true for Matlab/Octave's mex, so it's very fortunate that we do not need to argue who should give up the name, or do it both. TeXlive upstream has recently discussed this and decided to keep things unchanged, you can read the thread starting at http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2006-December/011670.html This bug report is mainly to inform you about the problem; it doesn't mean that we, the Debian TeX maintainers, claim to have stronger rights on the name. Regards, Frank P.S. in Ubuntu ($whatever_strange_animal) there's a file conflict between the packages... -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
