Hello All, I want to thank you for the hand I got with my last adventure with dpkg/dselect and it (the link to /bin/perl from /usr/bin/perl) cleared up a lot of the problems.
However, the *entire* tex package won't install, telling me there are dependency problems and dselect (although it gives me loads of superfluos information) doesn't show the conflict between the packages so it can be corrected! I'm very tempted to just go and get the source and compile/install the package myself. I'd like to use the new system, but have more trouble with it than a kernel compilation :) The distribution is from the middle of July, an i-connect CD. The problem stated by dpgk/dselect has something to do with texbin installation postinst script not being able to find what its looking for, I get an errormessage, and the remaining packages (latex, etc) remain unconfigured If more information is required, it will be included in the next post.
