Hello Ralf, dpkg -S /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex
results in: dpkg: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-en.tex not found. However, searching for cont-en.tex on the debian website tells me that it is part of tex/tetex-base. I came across a posting from last year on the kanotix site in which someone complains that the version of ConTeXt included in the distribution is old, being from 2003. My version is, however, even older: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 958 Sep 28 2002 cont-en.tex although my version of kanotix (2005-04) is more recent than that of the guy who wanted a more recent version of ConTeXt. I don't really understand why there is any problem, since if tetex-base contains the file, any spurious version that already exists on my system should just get overwritten, shouldn't it? If there is anything I can do to provide you with more information which could help localise the problem, let me know.

There are no special ConTeXt packages in Debian, but maybe somebody > created something for Kanotix? It is quite some time ago since I last > used Kanotix.
