Sorry to follow up on my own post, but I've now figured out how to use the force option. However, I'm no better off, because I still can't get tetex-base or tetex-bin to install properly. They are still half-installed. Is there any way to do get them installed, apart from reinstalling the whole system :-) Anthony -- Anthony Campbell - running Linux Debian 2.1 (Windows-free zone) Book Reviews: http://www.pentelikon.freeserve.co.uk/bookreviews/ Skeptical articles: http://www.freethinker/uklinux.net/ "To be forced by desire into any unwarrantable belief is a calamity."
