Thanks. I copied by hand texmf.cnf -> texmf.cnf.dpkg-old texmf.cnf.dpkg-new -> texmf.cnf in that order and then ran the configure option from dselect's main menu. Here is an excerpt from dselect's output. : running dpkg --pending --configure ... : Setting up tetex-base (0.9-6) ... : config_replace: file './texmf.cnf' not found. : texhash: Updating /usr/lib/texmf/local/ls-R... : texhash: Updating /var/lib/texmf/ls-R... : texhash: Done. : Running initex. This may take some time. ... : Output of initex is in /tmp/tex02208aaa "file './texmf.cnf' not found" appears here and at least at one other place in the output. In any event, one should not have to copy files by hand during installation. Has anybody reported this as a bug? -- Thomas E.

The problem can be solved setting TEXMFMAIN to /usr/lib/texmf before you install the new packages. Once you do this everything should be fine (tetex-base will claim that VARTEXFONTS isn't set, but it won't stop the installation). The TeX *.cnf files have changed, so if you are updating it'd be a good thing to make a copy of the old ones and install the new ones that provide the new installation.

TEXMFMAIN is set in /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and if you do an upgrade somehow the texmf.cnf which is there is from the old package which doesnt have TEXMFMAIN, the new is /etc/texmf/texmf.cfn.dpkg-new ... i moved it manually, it then configured... -- Madarasz Gergely [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.

tetex installation bug
I just this morning updated my hamm system with dselect but found the following problem: : Setting up tetex-base (0.9-6) ... : Installing new version of config file /etc/texmf/language.dat ... : /usr/bin/texconfig: No $TEXMFMAIN; set the environment variable or in texmf.cnf. : dpkg: error processing tetex-base (--install): : subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 : dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tetex-nonfree: : tetex-nonfree depends on tetex-base (>= 0.9-1); however: : Package tetex-base is not configured yet. : dpkg: error processing tetex-nonfree (--install): : dependency problems - leaving unconfigured : Setting up lapack-dev (2.0.1-2.1) ... : Setting up ncurses3.4-dev (1.9.9g-8.3) ... : Setting up ncurses-term (1.9.9g-8.3) ... : : Setting up ncurses-bin (1.9.9g-8.3) ... : dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of tetex-extra: : tetex-extra depends on tetex-base (>= 0.9-1) etc. Has anybody else seen this? -- Thomas E.
