IIRC nothing broke in teTeX 3.0.
Exactly. IIRC (but that's nothing specific to libraries) libkpathsea4 will disappear from unstable as soon as we upload libkpathsea5, since there's no source package for it left. On the other hand, if it's already installed locally, it stays, and if a package is linked against libkpathsea4 which is not installed, it shouldn't be possible to install the package. Therefore I don't understand how the soname bump could cause the problem. Moreover, I have texlive 2009 from experimental installed, and ii evince 2.28.1-1 Document (postscript, pdf) viewer Here, evince opens dvi files without problems. Not that I would ever want that...
