tetex errors

[fromluxembourg]

Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately I have to tell you that it
still doesn't solve the problem :( 



Now in my  /etc/texmf folder I have:



CONTENTS  DEBIAN  INFO  INSTALL  language.d  updmap.d



as expected, what I probably didn't understood clearly from your
response was:

"Then run apt-get again" 



what do you mean? I run synaptic and looking if tex-common was
installed I realized it wasn't, then I started to install the latex
packages (either using synaptic or apt-get) but I got again the same
error message:



Not replacing deleted config file
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf ... etc ...



Maybe I'm wrong somewhere in this procedure? 



I would be grateful for aid.



Thanks in advance
