I made a fresh install of Etch "testing" on a spare machine, then I installed texlive instead of tetex. I copied over to the spare machine a complex document of the "article" class which uses hyperlatex, and I executed "latex". The document was processed properly. I then executed latex on the same document after adding commands to create section-level tables of contents, using "minitoc.sty". After executing latex four times, no section-level tables of contents appeared. texlive uses minitoc.sty version 43. On my normal machine, which runs Etch "testing" and has tetex installed and uses minitoc.sty version 40, the section-level tables of content are generated, but some of the page numbers are off by one or two; it appears that the section-level tables are not being updated from the main table of contents (in which the page numbering is correct). But these problems likely have been corrected since version 40; and the release of version 50 of minitoc.sty is imminent. So now my task is to figure out how to install version 49 or 50 of minitoc.sty in texlive. %%%%% Regarding texlive vs. tetex: It appears that tetex is to be abandoned for want of an upstream maintainer, and that Debian is migrating to texlive. I found much good information on www.tug.org and www.tex.ac.uk. In particular, I found "Debian-specific information about TeX packages", which is dated 2006-11-03.
