Package: texlive-base Version: 2011.20120410-1 Severity: wishlist Hiya,
A friend just complained to me that he found it nonobvious which package to install to get a decent LaTeX environment on Debian. He'd tried 'apt-get install latex', but it failed because there is no package with that name. ,---- | (sid-amd64)root@raleigh:/srv/home/laney# apt-get install latex | Reading package lists... Done | Building dependency tree | Reading state information... Done | E: Unable to locate package latex `---- Perhaps it would be a nice idea for one of the texlive-latex packages to Provide: latex?
