Version: 2.0.2-4.3
Severity: grave
Any ideas? I did not change anything, pure upgrading for months now. Now
latex was broken from one day to another. fmtutil.cnf file is there and
is readable.

tetex-base and tetex-bin, I tried to reinstall them when the problem
appeared.

The file was previously empty. So I removed it and rerun,
dpkg-reconfigure and it contained some contents looking pretty
reasonable for me but latex still failed with the messages above. Then I
was not patient and purged tetex-base and tetex-bin and reinstalled
them. Now it seems to work. Now idea what have changed there overnight
but I don't care, sorry. I need this box for real work now. Consider
this bug as beeing closed until someone else reproduces it and has
enough experiens and patience to hunt it.
MfG,
Eduard.
