Dear fellow debian-user recipients,
When I try to install tetex-base, it searches for old tex
packages, and it keeps telling me that xypic is installed, and that to
uninstall it i need to "dpkg --purge --force-depends xypic" However,
that doesn't work, and it just sayd that the subprocess pre-removal
script returned error exit status 127, whatever that means. I got
xypic_3.2-4.deb and tried to install that over the old one, in hopes
that I could immediately uninstall it, but it gives me the same error
message. Is tehre a way to let the system know that I really don't
want that package on anymore, and to force it (shouldn't the --force
do that?) to be removed?
Also, are there any TeX primers out there? A book perhaps? Thanks.
-lars
