Thanks for clarifying the situation. I was basing the availability on Fink Commander's display, which shows binary availability for tetex-texmf. This must be because I have the package built, so there is a binary on my system. -- Alexander K. Hansen Associate Research Scientist, Columbia Universi

The tetex-texmf package is not available as a binary. You must compile it from source, for licensing reasons. We realize that this makes things a bit awkward when using apt-get or dselect. However, the actual compiling step does not take very long in this instance. You will need to have the De

Hmmm. The problem looks to be in a different location than I had thought. It definitely looks like circular dependencies. I was able to reinstall tetex-base using apt-get, so the dependencies look OK on the remote side. What happens if you try to install bundle-tetex (to install everything at o

Do you have system-tetex installed? You shouldn't if you are going to install tetex through fink--it's a placeholder that you install if you've installed tetex yourself (in /usr/local, usually). If you do have system-tetex installed, then uninstall it, and try again to update. -- Alexander K. H

According to my system tetex-texmf is indeed available in binary form. Have you updated your package listings (these get updated much more frequently than major version releases are made)? Do a 'sudo apt-get update' and see if you can proceed. -- Alexander K. Hansen Associate Research Scientist,
