I have uploaded new Debian packages for context/context-nonfree to tug.org and Debian.
1) I only see 2007.01.02-1 and 2007.01.02-2 when I browse http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/context/
These packages provide a workaround for using new context with texlive in Debian, ie pdftex < 1.40 by creating a symlink /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdftex -> /var/lib/texmf/web2c/pdfetex
2) FWIW, I've been using the context-2007.01.02-2 without that link. I wonder is it necessary? Some info from my system: # find / -name pdftex -type f # find / -name pdftex -type l /usr/bin/pdftex # find / -name pdfetex -type f /usr/bin/pdfetex # find / -name pdfetex -type l # file /usr/bin/pdftex /usr/bin/pdftex: symbolic link to `pdfetex' # file /usr/bin/pdfetex /usr/bin/pdfetex: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, stripped # dpkg -S /usr/bin/pdftex texlive-base-bin: /usr/bin/pdftex # dpkg -S /usr/bin/pdfetex texlive-base-bin: /usr/bin/pdfetex # dpkg -s texlive-base-bin | grep Version Version: 2005.dfsg.2-7 # dpkg -s context | grep Version Version: 2007.01.02-2 Thanks, --Mike Bird
