Thanks Kumar. I added: deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian oldstable-proposed-updates main to my sources.list, ran aptitude update, and tried again. I get the same version (2005.dfsg.3-1). That would appear to be newer than the one mentioned above ... but is still uninstallable. I tried using -t oldstable-proposed-updates, but it said 'Unable to find an archive "oldstable-proposed-updates" for the package "texlive-latex-base"' I guess my sources.list line is possibly wrong, but I don't get errors from aptitude update (I did from our in-house mirror; it must be setup differently) Any hints as to where I'm going wrong?
