Then, to the maintainer, PLEASE, include instructions about this unless we want to see the question "How do I upgrade TeX?" n+1 times on debian-user... I'm guessing something in the lines of "In dselect [R]emove packages *first*, *then* [I]nstall them" would work, but a bit more descriptive/less cryptic. Also, isn't there a workaround for the latex bug? I wouldn't like to see that question either, considering THERE IS a known solution. Marcelo
