I have now upgraded to tetex-base-bin 2007-9 and tetex-base 2007-7 after restoring the conffiles. I assume the other packages will install properly too, will do that now. What puzzles me is that restoring the conffiles did not succeed with 2007-8 and 2007-7, respectively, I had to go back to 2007-7 and 2007-6 to do so. The other packages had to be downgraded due to dependencies. Will report if any new errors occur, otherwise all is fine with me regrading this bug report. > > After this I successfullly reinstalled jadetex (3.13-8) and > > docbook-utils (0.6.14-1), but removing them in the first place does not > > seem necessary, since version 3.13-8 is dated May 2. > > What do you infer from the date of jadetex? Nothing, I saw that -8 is the new version even since it is dated May 2. Maybe you also saw the -7.1 works, at least with base-bin-7 and base-6. > Regards, Frank
