[tex-live] Symbolic linking fails

[Christian Lasarczyk]

Hi all,
I tried to install TeXLive 2005 from "texlive2005-inst-20051102.iso",but
for some reasons linking fails:

Unpacking zip files for packages...

And indeed for example pdflatex is just an ASCII-File containing
"pdfetex" (without LF):

lasar at mixit:lasar 53 % ll
/export/home1/lasar/texlive2005/bin/i386-linux/pdflatex
-rw-r--r--  1 lasar ls11 7 2005-11-25 16:22
/export/home1/lasar/texlive2005/bin/i386-linux/pdflatex
lasar at mixit:lasar 54 % cat
/export/home1/lasar/texlive2005/bin/i386-linux/pdflatex
pdfetexlasar at mixit:lasar 55 %

System is latest stable Debian, file system type ist ext3. TeXLive
2003+2004 run fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
