Why is the bug reported against texlive? All I see in the log is teTeX stuff.

Bug reporter, which Ubuntu release are you using? (edgy? feisty?) And please give a bit more information about how you triggered this bug. (How did you remove the idle package, with command line dpkg? Or using update-manager?)

Thanks.

Hi! Ming Hua,
If I am right, (it is a quite long time ago.) this bug is triggered, when I try to install Kile (the LaTeX editing program), and I installed at the same time TeXLive packages and other TeX packages.

My Ubuntu was an edgy then(now is feisty). I installed Ubuntu normally. I installed Kile normally, and the Kile didnt work. So I asked around in the community. Somebody said I should install texLive. As I use the add /remove program to do this, I chose all the texlive relative packages. As the process came to texlive, I received the above messages.

I asked again around, after I have reported my bug. Then I got help from an expert, who told me to delete all the texlive packages forcely, with following commands:

for i in /var/lib/dpkg/info/texlive-lang*postinst ; do echo -e '#!/bin/bash'\\n exit 0 >$i ; done
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get --purge remove texlive ; apt-get autoremove
apt-get install tetex-bin tetex-extra tetex-doc
then I got a beautiful funtional Kile.
And the bug is resolved.
in fact the bug is more about delete packages. The graphic or console commands did not be able to delete the packages of texlive appropally. So I have to use the above commands, which I really dont understand to remove the packages.
with best regards!
