Obviously it had its conffiles on the system, since the reported version of tetex-extra is from oldstable (woody). Although this case does not by the letter fall under the "we don't support upgrades from n to >=n+2", I think the case is really rare, and doesn't warrant a grave severity. > Unpacking tetex-extra (from .../tetex-extra_3.0-11_all.deb) ... > /etc/texmf/dvips/config.ams: md5sum not known.

The workaround would be to purge tetex-extra. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. Zürich Debian Developer
