Ah, good. > Here is a bit of a cut'n'paste: > Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main tetex-base 1.0-4 [11.0MB] Ok. This is the same version I have installed. I didn't have any problems.

It never even finishes unpacking. Which version of dpkg do you have installed? What happens when you try: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/tetex-base_1.0-4.deb without going through apt?
