Evidently you (or something else) removed /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ps at some point, as it's part of the tetex-base package. It is marked as a conffile, and dpkg considers "missing" to be a valid state for a conffile and won't reinstate it unless you tell it to. Reinstall the package using the --force-confmiss flag to dpkg and you'll get it back. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
