I'm new to debian but it looks like postrm script is using install-fmt-base, which is in tex//mflib, tex//xypic packages, that you've alreday removed. The soluition might be to install them ^^^^^^^ and try to remove them tex without --force-depends or at least remove babel first. > -------------------------- > Gernot Bauer > University of Linz > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . > = === ===== |______ Alexander Stavitsky mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sci.ccny.cuny.edu/~stalex -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
