This is exacly why I asked if there was any chance if this would get
fixed (.. is not enough), or if tetex-beta would be removed or marked
experimental again with this lifted package moratorium new strictness.
It would be Very Good (TM), if installing a package (and its
dependencies, eg, tetex-texmf) would be `enough' for the package to
work. This is what Debian and Red Hat packages do, usually.
Having a broken package that doesn't get fixed by it's maintainer is
arguably worse than having none at all. Maybe Cygwin should introduce
something like Debian's Non-maintainer uploads to address this problem?
Greetings,
Jan.
