Package dependency concerns dependency between piece of software, and their default configuration assume a working Debian set up. As you force your Debian box to work with a personalized set up, at one stage you have to configure your box to reflect your specific set up: for texlive, you may set up correctly the configuration file in /etc/texmf (mainly in /etc/texmf/texmf.d), and update accordingly. hth, Jerome > Regards. > > -- > François Patte > UFR de mathématiques et informatique > Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 > Université Paris Descartes > 45, rue des Saints Pères > F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 > Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 > http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte > > > -- > François Patte > UFR de mathématiques et informatique > Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 > Université Paris Descartes > 45, rue des Saints Pères > F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 > Tél. +33 (0)1 8394 5849 > http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte > > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
