Again: I only installed teTeX from source and this should not break Ubuntu as it
doesn't break any other GNU/Linux/Unix system.

?? Ubuntu users should only use deb packages provided by Ubuntu and should never
install software from source?? Sorry, I disagree.

Yes, versions that are quite outdated as I already mentioned on the devel list
(teTeX-2.0.2 was released on 1. March 2003). teTeX-3.0 was released on 6.
February 2005 and is not available for Breezy.

No, I didn't!

Please, I didn't install texinfo from source! I installed it with apt-get as
shown in another comment on this site. Why do you think I installed it from
source. Where did I write this?
