Hi Marcin, I hope I don't upset you by this e-mail bombardment... But currently I have some time to think about it and test, but I won't have much time this weekend. Here's one more suggestion for debugging. Add the following line to your sources.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~frank/teTeX-3.0 experimental main (don't be afraid about experimental, it only contains some tetex-base packages for testing). After apt-get update, "apt-cache policy tetex-base" should list version 3.0.dfsg.3-2~1 as "Candidate". (If that's not the case, there might be something "wrong" with preferences). Please install this package the usual way, but also catch the output in a file: apt-get install tetex-extra 2>&1 | tee install.log This will probably produce lots of output, and I don't know whether it will stop at some point and hang, or go in circles. Anyway, you'll be able to see whether the error has been triggered (consumes much memory, listing of ps axf). If that has happened, interrupt it as usual, and send the file install.log. As I said, I won't be able to look at it soon, but I hope someone else in the team will. Many thanks in advance, Frank -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
