Package: alml Version: 2005.01.01-2.2 Severity: important alml currently declares these Depends:
Depends: perl, tetex-bin (>= 0.9.990310-1), tetex-extra (>= 1.0.2), latex-ucs, latex-ucs-contrib, latex-ucs-uninames, html2ps (>= 1.0), liblocale-gettext-perl (>= 1.01-8), sharutils (>= 4.2.1-1), imagemagick (>= 4.2.8-9), sp, psutils (>= 1.17-9), gs, gs-common, sgml-base, sgml-data, tetex-base, dvipdfm, lilypond (>= 2.1.0), transfig, dviutils, gnuplot There is no package dvipdfm in Debian anymore, since sarge it has been taken over by tetex-bin. alml is currently installable because tetex-bin declares Conflicts/Replaces/Provides: dvipdfm. However, this means that dvipdfm has just disappeared: There's no virtual package dvipdfm, and there never was an intention to create one. There's now a second TeX system, TeXlive that provides TeX functionality, as well as a dvipdfm executable. In lenny (etch+1), texlive will be the default system, and in fact for people who write their (La)TeX input files (as opposed to using only code generators like alml), texlive is already the recommended system in etch. Therefore it would be nice if you could replace the dependencies appropriately. A finer splitting has often been requested for teTeX, for texlive it has been actually done. Therefore there's no simple mapping from tetex-bin or -extra to texlive packages, you need to find out the needed things yourself (or ask your upstream? The debian texlive packages correspond to the upstream texlive "collections") The dependency on tetex-base, on the other hand, can be dropped: tetex-bin won't work without it and will always depend on it.
