Hey, I'm running Debian sid and want to use TeX Live from CTAN. So I didn't install the Debian texlive-packages, but created a virtual local package with equivs (followed the advice on <URL: http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html>). You can find the contents of the control file below:

A full "vanilla" TeX Live 2013 http://tug.org/texlive/debian#vanilla I used equivs-build to create the Debian package and installed it. However when I open apt-get, aptitude or other package managers I get the following message: W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package texlive-latex-base It advises to call apt-get update which I did, but the message stays. Why does this message appear and what can I do to correct this warning? The package texlive-latex-base itself not installed: > apt-cache policy texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-base: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2013.20140215-1
