I have been working on it. I can reproduce it with a debootstrapped sarge chroot. And I've asked debian-mentors for the solution: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2006/10/msg00243.html It seems Steve Langasek's solution can solve it.
Let me summarize the problem: The diversion couldn't be removed because the babel.sty file still exists, not because of the old tetex-base's ownership (because the file is being diverted, the tetex-base's version should be diverted to babel.sty.real) but because of thailatex's own version. Steve's solution is to remove the diversion at postinst, by tricking dpkg-divert by moving away the newly installed babel.sty before removing the diversion, and then moving it back afterward. He has been careful in making the script work even if it's called many times. I haven't adopted the part that he suggested to Conflicts: and Replaces: tetex-base (<<3.0), anyway. Blame me if my decision is wrong. Summarized change (with debdiff) is attached. -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/
