The message is a warning, and the output of pdfetex continues after it. However, after digging through some directories in a debian mirror, I got the texlive-base-bin_2005.dfsg.2-13_i386.deb file and I installed it with "dpkg -i" (the output above is from before that). The install worked, and latex seemed mostly working afterwards. (I was trying to install texlive in the first place, because an apt-get update had broken tetex, so that it had empty fonts or something and produced mostly white pages when the dvi was translated to pdf.) Thanks for everyone's help. I think this bug should be left open until the newer packages are available through a normal apt-get. --Rob P.S. Why do you think Donald Knuth decided to warn himself against processing files older than 5 years ? The old guy probably has many of those, right ? -- http://rgr.freeshell.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
