Thanks!

ctie is included in tetex-3.0, so we simply need a conflicts/replaces
here, and when tetex-3.0 hits unstable, I'll replace ctie with a dummy
package.

I need to find some time to work on that package anyway.

No, that's up to the authors of the documents to worry about.

Don't understand this one - where does it happen?

Thanks for your help,

I have, in some cases.  Do you have build logs available somewhere?

This is most probably a buggy document (or stylefile) that has a wrong
test for pdf output, and produces pdf instead of dvi if the TeX engine
understands \pdfoutput, even if it has carefully been set to 0.

Errors like that are delibarate - the library has changed considerably,
and is now called libkpathsea4-dev in order to force maintainers to
really test their packages.

This could point to the same pdf-instead-of-dvi problem, this time as
intermediate files, together with a broken build system that doesn't
notice that it failed...

That's most probably just a bug in the texinfo sources, nothing that has
been triggered by the version change of teTeX.

Not at all - that's just a warning about bad line breaking, and for sure
not dependent on the version.

Most probably irrelevant and not version-dependent

Minor relevance and not version-dependent

No idea, but I wouldn't bother too much.

Thank you for your great work!

I started with everything build depending on tetex-*.  Here is an
overview of packages which might have problems.  Note that I have
no clue what some of those message mean.

Those really failed to build:

  ** node_prev `Top' for `License' not found
  ** `Distrib' doesn't appear in menus
(am-utils, esh, fdutils)

I did not have time to look at all those that appeared to have
been built succesful.

- cmucl

This was the list of everything directly build depending on it,
and I'll do one with the indirect build dependencies soon.
