The usual fix for the "node exists" error is to remove the package and have it be reinstalled by a dependency:

Hi,
the system-foo issue is getting intriguing. I'm trying to install PyX that depends on ghostscript and tetex. I've installed system-ghostscript8 (that I've adapted from 10.2-gcc3.3 tree without any problem) and system-tetex (since I've installed Gerben Wierda's teTeX distro). Now when I try to install PyX I get the following error message:


Failed: Internal error: node for system-tetex already exists

What's going on here?? I really don't understand it!


Thanks in advance,
        Andrea.

P.S.: As suggested by someone answering my previous post, I think this situation should be fixed as soon as possible. At the moment dealing with packages that depends on ghostscript and tetex could be a nightmare.
