Thank you all for your pointers to TeX/LaTeX references, but can someone now tell me how to force the removal of the xypic package? dpkg -i tetex-base_etc tells me what to do to remove it, but it doesn't work at all. Here is the output:
# dpkg --purge --force-depends xypic (Reading database ... 23313 files and directories currently installed.) Removing xypic ... dpkg: error processing xypic (--purge): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: xypic # Is there a way to tell dpkg to remove all references to xypic from the database, regardless of the presence of files, which are gonna be replaced by tetex anyway? Thanks again. -lars -- My sig file is only one line long! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
