It is a build-dependendancy problem, but it doesn't look transient at all (although the problem might have been addressed in a newer version of texlive and/or tetex, but I'm building on testing and will have to confirm that). The package depends on tetex-extra, and on dvipdfm. dvipdfm is a virtual package provided by texlive-base-bin and tetex-bin. My buildd chooses to use texlive-base-bin, and not tetex-bin, to satisfy the dvipdfm b-dep. But texlive-base-bin conflicts with tetex-extra, so there's a conflict amongst buil-depends. A workaround (not sure if it is semantically correct, but it would work) would be to build-depend on "texlive-base-bin | tetex-extra" instead of "tetex-extra, dvipdfm". > If you think this is still a bug, please provide an analysis of the > build-dependencies which shows *why* they are uninstallable on your system; > for as complicated a dependency tree as we have here, simply saying that > they *are* uninstallable isn't helpful if no one can reproduce the problem > themselves. Ok, I'll do that from the start next time.
