Confirmed here on an AMD64 Gutsy install.

Will take a look at this later, today I just need to _use_ LaTeX. :)

[tuxator (steffen-trekki)]

I want to use it, too :)

But I can't :(

The bug is similar to one reported here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431583

Same problem here.

This bug still seems to be around (at least for me). Despite the error latex seems to be installed fine on my system and I can use it, BUT the annoying part that does make it a problem is I'm unable to install any other deb packages that rely on latex209-bin because they crash when they try to "install" it.

Is anyone looking at this (or has anyone even applied the bug fix?)

[Greg Grossmeier (greg.grossmeier)]

This was reported as fixed in debian in version -11.
 -12 is now available in Hardy/Intrepid/Jaunty. Please feel free to open a new bug is this is not fixed for you.

Thanks.
