Generally speaking, this is risky business, but you probably know that. Leaping over the last stable release is not supported. > Setting up texlive-base-bin (2007.dfsg.1-2) ... > Running mktexlsr.

It sounds like you rediscovered http://bugs.debian.org/420390. My advice would be to reinstall all texlive packages and take care that missing conffiles are regenerated, like that: # dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/texlive*.deb Good luck, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
