I thought it would even be better if I add a version number with it: Depends: tex (>3.1415-4) However, during installation an error message comes up indicating that TeX is not installed. This is probably because of the version number which is checked and which is not reported by the package tex. The tex package (without a version number) is a package provided by texbin (with a version number). It might be usefull to let the provides packages have the same version number as the providing package, or if a specific version number is given in the provides line providing that version number. # dpkg -s tex Package: tex Status: purge ok not-installed Priority: optional Section: tex # dpkg -s tebin Package: texbin Status: install ok installed Priority: standard Section: tex Maintainer: Nils Rennebarth Version: 3.1415 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Revision: 4 ~~~~~~~~~~~ Provides: tex ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Depends: texlib (>1.0-3), metafont, kpathsea [deleted] Erick -- Erick Branderhorst@heel.fgg.eur.nl +31-10-4635142 Department of General Surgery (Intensive Care) University Hospital Rotterdam NL ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: Erick Branderhorst Subject: Bug#1712: Acknowledgement (was: Tex has no version number texbin does) In-Reply-To: <9510201432.AA16199@mailgate.eur.nl> References: <9510201432.AA16199@mailgate.eur.nl> Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
