Hello all, I already reported this directly to Alexendre, but I am duplicating it here so that it can be tracked properly (hopefully this is the right location since the package doesn't yet exist on the BTS). The matplotlib package (http://people.debian.org/~zufus/matplotlib/0.83.2/python2.4-matplotlib_0.83.2-3_i386.deb) should have dependencies on the tetex-base and dvipng packages. The following python code will not work properly unless both latex and dvipng are present on the user's system.
>>> import pylab >>> pylab.rc('text', usetex=True) >>> pylab.xlabel(r'test $\alpha$') >>> pylab.show() Thank you for the hard work putting this useful package together. Regards, Mike Gilbert
