On my etch system I used `apt-cache showpkg latex` which returned: Package: latex Versions: Reverse Depends: tetex-extra,latex tetex-base,latex asymptote,latex Dependencies: Provides: Reverse Provides: (`apt-cache rdepends latex` didn't show anything) And indeed asymptote lists latex as a dependency: ..., tetex-bin | texlive-latex-base | latex, ... Should this bug be reassigned against the asymptote package? Regards, -- Jeroen Schot -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
