My understanding is the following (please someone correct me if I'am wrong): If you have system-tetex installed, you have the virtual package 'tetex-base', too, because this is provided by system-tetex. So packages depending on tetex-base should be satisfied and not try to install tetex-base again. Virtual packages do not carry version numbers, however, and therefore any package that depends on tetex-base with a restriction on the version number will try to get the "real" tetex-base. In your list above there is auctex, for example, that does this. It depends on "tetex-base (>= 1.0-12)". As it stands, this is a bug either in auctex which should not depend on a certain version of tetex-base, or in system-tetex which should conflict with auctex. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
