Damn, I just went through the same thing, but I think it might be avoidable. I used aptitude to install texlive, which automatically uninstalled the core tetex stuff. I couldn't get latex to work from the command line or through auctex, so I tried a couple variations of purge and reinstall. Eventually I realised that it was hung up on a directory that somehow was not purged when I cleaned out tetex: ~/.texmf-var I moved that to .texmf-var-old, and now it seems to be working ok. I didn't end up reinstalling, but it did take me a few hours to realise what was wrong. hth, Tyler > I failed to do so, and ended up reinstalling Debian (which was not a > bad experience, but it took a full day for me to get all the packages > installed and everything configured). > > RLH > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
