Then you can simply remove take the dpkg-dist version. If you really have customization in there, the difference between these two lines also shows what you should do: change tex to etex and pdftex to pdfetex. But you can as well use pdfetex in both cases, since etex is just a symlink to pdfetex. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
