Comment 11 for bug 97718

I try to keep apt-sources pretty clean apart from those extra repositories added by automatix (but many people do that). The only other thing I can think of that I do that not many other people do is to use texlive rather than tetex since I have a job which involves technical editing of documents to precise formats. That was done using the apt-get system though. I'm not sure if/how the tex system interacts with the ghostscript system if, indeed, it does at all. I'm afraid I'm very much out of my area of technical expertise on this one.

The laptop I am running it on is pretty chunky though -- 1Gb memory and Dual core processor so if that grinds to a halt then it's fair to say that most people would.

If there are any traces or reports I can run to help you nail it down I will gladly do so.

I'm going to do a fresh "feisty" install on my desktop next week so I can try to reproduce things there if it is not fixed by then.
