Sorry, I answered a bit hastily. I don't see a reason for the octave-forge package to have a direct dependency on tetex-bin. But doesn't the texinfo package depend on tetex in some way? I guess not: @ texinfo sdesc: "Documentation system for on-line information and printed output" category: Text Doc requires: cygwin libiconv2 libintl3 libncurses8 _update-info-dir version: 4.8-1 install: release/texinfo/texinfo-4.8-1.tar.bz2 695242 41433bef576c2bccc7136ec6677f6457 source: release/texinfo/texinfo-4.8-1-src.tar.bz2 1474048 ae84f762aae32d3356cfd8639ff608f8 [prev] version: 4.7-2 install: release/texinfo/texinfo-4.7-2.tar.bz2 690192 b0b7a4d4fb51cfe3d1b8b7db85463d1f source: release/texinfo/texinfo-4.7-2-src.tar.bz2 1356848 5529d19c02bd71abc13479e3ebaa8325 though I'm not sure why it doesn't. Isn't TeX needed to make this package fully functional? jwe -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
