quick answer: 1) dpkg --purge <all your tetex packages> 2) make sure you have a pointer in /etc/apt/sources.list to a current mirror 3) apt-get update 4) apt-get install <all the tetex packages you want>
I notice in the text below that you're trying to install/configure some -1 packages, and there came a problem with those packages once they were more than one year old (or some such thing, search the list if you care). Here's my current slink system, just updated this morning: ii tetex-base 0.9.981113-2 basic teTeX library files ii tetex-bin 0.9.981113-4 teTeX binary files ii tetex-doc 0.9.981113-2 teTeX documentation ii tetex-extra 0.9.981113-2 extra teTeX library files ii tetex-nonfree 0.9.981113-2 non-free teTeX library files On Tue, Mar 21, 2000 at 14:38, Jeronimo Pellegrini wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm running slink (the one which comes with "Debian GNU/Linux > Unleashed") on a Pentium II. > > Ok.
