I wish I had written down the filenames and stuff, but I haven't. :( I can reproduce it, I think. I just have to configure Babel. -Marcelo
Re: texbin postinst in unstable fails
C'est manfnt.mf. Install mfbasfnt-1.0-3 de buzz-fixed et ca ira. On peut installer mfbasfnt-1.0-7 aussi, mais c'est dans Incoming maintenant. One can also install mfbasfnt-1.0-7, but it is in Incoming right now. Merci! Ca marche maintenant. Translation: Thanks, now it works :-) Ne rien. Niets te danken. Erick

Casper I wonder if you might possibly translate that for the rest of us. My excuses!
