We've got tetex-bin_2007-2: Depends: texlive texlive_2007-2: Depends: ..., texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-base_2007-2: Depends: texlive-base, texlive-common (>= 2007) and texlive-common_2007-2: Conflicts: tetex-bin (<< 2007) Moreover, the only texlive-* in sid is 2007-2 (-1 is only in experimental). Could you please check the installed versions of all of them? Maybe we need more versioned dependencies (in particular, tetex-bin should probably depend on texlive-common (>= 2007)).
