Ah, I didn't know that. That's unfortunate, in this case. The old tetex-beta and texmf* packages were removed from the archive. Dummy `upgrade-helper' packages with newer versions were added, that depend on the new tetex packages. > You should still have recieved consistent packages, what didn't get > installed? Probably the texmf tree. Tetex consists of 7 packages. The fact obsolete packages (named tetex-beta and texmf*) are also listed, may add to the confusion; the user probably sees 11 tex-related packages. >From the [curr] release, to get a working tex installation, you need tetex-bin, and one of tetex-tiny or tetex-base. You can do that by selecting one of tetex, tetex-tiny, or tetex-base. If you select tetex-bin, you only get the tex binaries, so that you may combine that with an already installed texmf tree (read: miktex/texlive). The upgrade-helpers have been around for over a year. Maybe we should simply remove them?
