It does not show up when all dependencies of texlive-base are installed in the same aptitude or dpkg run, only when they are configured first and texlive-base is unpacked afterwards. And of course it is in my new libpaper'ing code... A fix is in svn, I'll upload soon. Regards, Frank ----------- so that idea fixes it so I did this apt-get remove --purge texlive-base texlive-common texlive-binaries texlive-doc-base tex-common luatex (copied down all the stuff being purged and then did) apt-get install texlive-base texlive-common texlive-binaries texlive-doc-base tex-common luatex and then we were ok next step is to reinstall whole batch of files that were removed :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
