I think you need to ask -release for a hint of tetex-bin/2.0.2-20 and ptex-bin/3.1.3+0.04a-3. > This seems to be bogus, because ptex-bin (source package of the three) > has a versioned depends on tetex-bin that cannot be fullfilled with the > version in sarge. so that's the message: "if tetex-bin -20 gets installed in testing, I'll have to remove ptex-bin, and I'm not going to do that". herein the hint. > * Updating tetex-bin makes 35 non-depending packages uninstallable on > alpha: acl2-infix, advi, cdcover, cjk-latex, dvidvi, dvifb, dvilib2, > dvilib2-dev, dvilx, dvipdfm-cjk, dvipdfmx, dvipsk-ja, ipe, jtex-bin, > latex2rtf, lgrind, libkpathsea-perl, lilypond, lprfax, multex-bin, > musixtex, opustex, pdfjam, pmx, sgf2tex, sgmltexi, spawg, spawx11, > tetex-bin, tex-guy, tex4ht, texmacs, therion, xdvik-ja, xgdvi I think this will solve too with the hint. > But how can that cause a problem? According to > http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=tetex-bin > tetex-bin has been built "maybe-successful"ly on all arches. it's not the case, but as you may know, "maybe-successful" does not mean the package is in the archive for that arch. you want "Installed" in <http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?package=tetex-bin>. > TIA, Frank hth, -- Adeodato Simó EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a flea, yet he makes gods by the dozens. -- Michel de Montaigne
