[snip the dpkg command failing] > Then I tried again, but some dependencies are now unmet! Yes, because dpkg was interrupted partway through removing the packages that depend on tetex. You'll need to finish the installation by hand or run an appropriate tool (such as "apt-get -f" or aptitude) to resolve the dependencies. [snip] > You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > latex2rtf: Depends: tetex-bin but it is not going to be installed or > texlive-base but it is not going to be installed You need to install texlive-base. I guess it probably got pulled in before by, e.g., texlive-fonts-recommended: > texlive-fonts-recommended: Depends: texlive-base (>= 2007-11) but it is not > going to be installed > Recommends: texlive-fonts-recommended-doc but it > is not going to be installed > Recommends: tipa (>= 2:1.2-2.1) but it is not > going to be installed which is now installed and won't trigger autoinstallation of dependencies. > lmodern: Depends: tex-common (>= 1.10) but 1.9 is to be installed You need to install a newer version of tex-common. > texlive-latex-extra: Depends: preview-latex-style but it is not going to be > installed You need to install preview-latex-style. > $ sudo apt-get -f install I don't know offhand how "apt-get -f" works so I can't comment -- it looks like it probably tried to resolve recommendations (e.g., texlive-base-bin recommends texlive-base-bin-doc). You could try passing the same command-line to aptitude and see if it does anything better. Anyway, if there is a bug I think it's in latex-ucs (removal shouldn't fail!), so I'll reassign this over there. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
