I still don't know why you want to do a dist-upgrade rather than a simple upgrade as a matter of routine. Have you tried doing just aptitude upgrade and see if it still wants to install texlive? I would use dist-upgrade if I were going from Etch to Lenny for example. dist-upgrade is more agressive than upgrade about what it chooses to upgrade. Try reading the manual for a better description than mine. Cheers, Jonathan -- Registerd Linux user #445917 at http://counter.li.org/
