Ok I saw this one. I'm just in the process of releasing a new version of the packages which search for old packages and give a hint like this in it. But... this procedure does not allways work. If dpkg deinstalls mflib and/or xypic before latex, deinstallation of latex will fail because install-fmt-base is missing. So you have to do in two steps as supposed in my preinst script. > >dpkg --purge --force-depends amslatex amstex babel bibtex dvipsk >kpathsea kpathsea-dev latex latex2e-doc ltxmisc ltxtool makeindex >mfbasfnt mfdcfnt mflib mfnfss ps2pk psnfss texbin texi2html texinfo texlib texpsfnt textmf xdvik >
