Why do texlive and tetex-bin conflict?
Both tetex and texlive are tex-distributions. You only should have
one of them installed. And tetex has no further upstream support,
what I have learned. Upstream tetex recommends end users to switch to
texlive, so I have done this, becouse texlive is packed in Debian.
It is not allowed for two Priority: optional packages to conflict.
Perhaps you should complain to them to get their act together and
separate the command names so that this problem goes away.
I has not that much clues on how to pack software for Debian, so I
don't doubt you on that. But it is still a problem for me if I want
to use lilypond, which I obvious want to ;-).
If I try to install lilypond, I looses packages latex-beamer,
latex-xcolor, pgd, texlive, texlive-base, texlive-context,
texlive-latex-base, texlive-metapost and texlive-pdfetex. And it also
will downgrade telive-latex-recommender and texlive-pictures
Which, in all I guess, will render my TeX installation more or less
usless (without trying, becouse I'm on a rather slow Internet line).
Package texinfo suggests "tetex-bin | texlive-base" and conflicts with
"tetex-base (< 3.0)" and "tetex-bin (< 3.0)"
Maybe you could have a look at how that package texinfo solved the
transition from Debian only having one TeX-distribution tetex to now
having both tetex and livetex.
It is a problem for me, becouse I can't install lilypond without
loosing texlive.
