Re: [Fink-devel] [RFC] test finkinfo for TeX Live

[Tomoaki O. <ok...@so...>]

Hmm, it seems difficult to switch tetex to texlive smoothly...
Does anyone have some ideas to avoid the problem by modifying
depends/conflicts/replaces of texlive or tetex?

Example (I don't know whether this is possible or not):
tetex-base depends on tetex-texmf with the version clause
"tetex-texmf (>= 3.0-1)", but if "tetex-texmf" (no version
clause), tetex-texmf is successfully replaced with texlive-texmf.

If there is no good way, users may have to remove tetex-base
manually before installing texlive.

If all debs of texlive are available in some way, it should
be work:

$ sudo apt-get install texlive=0.20080816-0

even if tetex is installed.
