I'm not sure what the latest advice in this report is, but it seems you need to put texlive-base first (which provides modes.mf), or to run dpkg -i --force-confmiss on the packages separately, starting with texlive-base. Or simply try removing the packages for which the postinst was already run (even if it failed). Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
