Package: texlive-base-bin Version: 2007-11 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
I recently tried upgrading (I track sid). Upon upgrading texlive-base-bin, the system ate all swap and eventually crashed. I subsequently attempted to remove texlive packages with dpkg --force-depends --purge, and reinstall with apt-get -f install. However, the same behavior reoccured. It happens at this point: Setting up texlive-base-bin (2007-11) ... Running mktexlsr. This may take some time... done. Building format(s) --all . This may take some time...

Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further.
