when installing asymptote via apt-get or synaptic, it insists on tetex and wants to remove texlive, although latter is an optional dependency. only aptitude lets one keep texlive, while reporting an error. this might be the case for other packages too. tried some randomly, installation of ivritex went similarly. ** Affects: asymptote (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: Binary package hint: asymptote - when installing asymptote via apt-get or synaptic, it insists on tetex - and wants to remove texlive, although latter is an optional dependency. - only aptitude lets one keep texlive, while reporting an error. + when installing asymptote via apt-get or synaptic, it insists on tetex and wants to remove texlive, although latter is an optional dependency. only aptitude lets one keep texlive, while reporting an error. + this might be the case for other packages too. tried some randomly, installation of ivritex went similarly. -- synaptic and apt-get insist on tetex when installing asymptote https://launchpad.net/bugs/76043 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
