Problems upgrading to 1.3
I am having problems upgrading to Debian 1.3 with the latex-packages. I know that I have to purge the old packages and it works fine despite for the babel-package. I get the following error-message when i "dpkg --purge --force-depends babel": mother# dpkg --purge --force-depends babel (Reading database ... 27160 files and directories currently installed.) Removing babel ... Purging configuration files for babel ... Building new format(s) without babel support using install-fmt-base(8) /var/lib/dpkg/info/babel.postrm: install-fmt-base: command not found dpkg: error processing babel (--purge): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: babel mother# ... So I cant proceed with the installation of the new packages :( Anyone knows help?
