Subject: unable to install tetex-extra, preinst failure
Package: tetex-extra
Version: 1.0.2+20021025-7
Severity: grave
Hello,
I cannot install tetex-extra because its preinst shows weird md5sum
problems (see below). I have been told that may be caused by obsolete coreutils,
however this is a up-to-date Sid system (installed with Slink or so and
dist-upgraded from then). Tetex-extra may have been installed and then
deinstalled in the past, I don't remember.
